CPI(M) leader and former MLA M. Swaraj has withdrawn the appeal he filed in the Supreme Court seeking to declare the 2021 election of Congress candidate K. Babu from the Thripunithura Assembly seat as null and void.
Mr. Swaraj had earlier approached the Kerala High Court, alleging that his rival candidate got votes on religious grounds. He moved the Supreme Court after the High Court rejected his April 2024 election petition.
The Supreme Court stated that the petitioner had not proved beyond a doubt that his opponent had committed an alleged corrupt act.
