Bombay HC Refuses To Hear Nawab Malik's Plea To Vote in RS Elections

Voting for the crucial Rajya Sabha elections is underway till 4 pm.

The Bombay High Court on Friday, 10 June, refused to entertain the petition of Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik who sought to vote in the Rajya Sabha elections, polling for which is underway till 4 pm.

This comes hours after another bench of the court had refused to grant immediate permission to Malik, but allowed him to approach another bench with an amended plea.

Malik, who is presently lodged in judicial custody, had moved the court earlier in the day seeking permission to vote in the crucial polls, in which six seats from Maharashtra are at stake. This came after a special Bombay court had rejected the minister's plea.
