SC junks plea to bar contesting polls from more than one seat https://ift.tt/Kn7wzAG

The SC has dismissed a plea that had sought to restrict a candidate from contesting the election for the same office from more than one constituency simultaneously, saying it is a matter of "legislative policy". The petitioner had argued if a candidate contests from two seats and gets elected from both, he or she has to vacate one seat, which will lead to a bypoll that will be an additional burden on the exchequer.
