New Delhi: Former Maharashtra CM and senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis has received a big relief from the top court. The court has accepted the demand of hearing in open court on the review petition of Devendra Fadnavis. The election affidavit related to Fadnavis will now be heard in the open court.
Fadnavis has urged the apex court to reconsider the order in which the Nagpur court was ordered to re-run the trial in a 2014 election affidavit in connection with the concealment of information on two criminal cases. In this, one case is related to defamation and the other case is related to cheating. The court had said that Fadnavis had hidden information about the cases. Significantly, advocate Satish Uke had filed a petition in the apex court alleging that while filing the 2014 election nomination, Fadnavis had filed a false affidavit.

There are allegations that Fadnavis had also hidden information about two criminal cases against him. Let me tell you that lawyer Satish Uke is talking about the case of fraud and fraud filed against Devendra Fadnavis in the years 1996 and 1998. However, no charges were framed against him in both these cases. Advocate Satish Ukay has alleged that Fadnavis did not mention both these criminal cases in the affidavit given during the nomination.
