Gauhati High Court upholds cancellation of Kokrajhar MP Naba Kumar Sarania's Scheduled Tribe status.

Gauhati High Court rejects Kokrajhar MP Naba Kumar Sarania's petition challenging the cancellation of his Scheduled Tribe (ST) status in 2011. This means he can't run for re-election from the Kokrajhar seat reserved for ST candidates on May 7. The court found no evidence or material related to Sarania's claim to belong to the ST(P) before 2011, and also noted his father never claimed to be from the Bodo/Bodo Kachari community.
