The Supreme Court of India on Tuesday reserved its verdict on the petition of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, seeking to review the 2019 verdict, showing the BJP leader's pending criminal offense against him in a 2014 election affidavit. He was asked to prosecute for not providing information about the cases. Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, representing Fadnavis, told a bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra that the apex court needs to re-examine the judgment of October 1, 2019.

In its judgment last year, the apex court set aside the Bombay High Court order which gave a clean chit to Fadnavis and held that his crime was not something that came under the Representation of the People Act (RPA). Let me tell you that Devendra Fadnavis is accused of hiding information about two criminal cases in the election affidavit.

For your information, let us tell you that while referring to Article 21 by Rohatgi, it was said that this is a matter which needs to be considered again. Let us tell you that this case against Fadnavis gained momentum when the new Shiv Sena-led government in Maharashtra was sworn in. Fadnavis is an MLA from Nagpur. The magistrate court had on November 1 heard an application seeking criminal proceedings against the BJP leader for allegedly not disclosing it. Shah's lawyer Satish Ukke filed an application in the court demanding that Criminal proceedings should be initiated against Fadnavis.
