CHHATRAPATI SHAMBHAJINAGAR: Bombay HC’s Aurangabad bench dismissed BJP functionary and former minister of state for defence Subhash Bhamre’s election petition that Congress nominee Shobha Bachchav’s election as MP from Dhule parliamentary constituency in Maharashtra’s Nashik in 2024 Lok Sabha polls be set aside on grounds of irregularities, reports Mohammed Akhef.The court allowed Bachchav’s application in the same matter seeking dismissal of Bhamre’s election petition. Bhamre had polled over 5.80 lakh votes as against over 5.83 lakh votes polled by Bachchav. The victory margin was over 3,800 votes. Bhamre contended that a large number of votes were cast in the name of dead voters, who continued to figure in the electoral roll, and multiple votes were cast in the name of same people in different booths. All these votes were cast in favour of the winning candidate, he contended.Court, however, held on June 13 that there was no material placed on record to substantiate the allegations.
