The separate writ petitions filed by Kishori Sah of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) against the cancellation of her candidacy in Dhanusha-1 and the declaration of the winner of Matrika Yadav of the NCP, will be heard together.
The Election Commission had cancelled Sah's candidacy two days before the voting, saying that she was on the blacklist of the Credit Information Center. After that, Sah had gone to the Supreme Court. Due to lack of time, voting was conducted with Sah's election symbol on the ballot paper.
After the counting of votes, the Returning Officer's Office issued a certificate of victory to NCP candidate Matrika Yadav. Sah had also filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court against that. If the hearing is not held for some reason, the Supreme Court will resolve this dispute on Sunday.
A single bench of the Supreme Court issued an order on Thursday stating that Sah's name is not on the blacklist of the Credit Information Center. In such a situation, there is concern whether the vote cast for Sah on 21 Falgun will be upheld or whether a re-election will be held or whether the certificate received by Matrika Yadav will remain valid.
Although the votes cast for the bell election symbol in Dhanusha-1 have not been made public, 41,803 votes have been cast in proportional representation, while the second-placed NCP has 7,349 votes.
