SC notice on Siddaramaiah freebies case

New Delhi, Dec 8 (UNI) The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice on a petition challenging the election of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah from the Varuna constituency in the 2023 Assembly polls, over allegations that Congress party's pre-election guarantees amounted to corrupt electoral practice.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta passed the order while hearing a challenge filed by a voter from Varuna.
Although the court was initially inclined to dismiss the plea, notice was issued after it was pointed out that the 2013 judgment in S Subramaniam Balaji vs State of Tamil Nadu, which held that pre-election freebies do not constitute corrupt practice, is presently under reconsideration by a three-judge bench.
