Kerala High Court rejected a PIL challenging BJP's Thiruvananthapuram candidate's alleged false affidavit.

The Kerala High Court rejected a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the Election Commission's decision not to act on a complaint alleging that BJP's Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha candidate, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, filed a false affidavit about his income along with his nomination. The court ruled that it could not entertain the petition at this stage, as the election process had already begun, and an order could not be issued. The petition alleged that Chandrasekhar had omitted to declare several assets, including properties, luxury cars, and private jets, and had failed to declare the real book value of companies as required by the Election Commission of India.
