Karnataka High Court declares as null and void election of Prajwal Revanna from Hassan Lok Sabha constituency

The Karnataka High Court on Friday declared null and void the election of Janata Dal (Secular) leader Prajwal Revanna as a Lok Sabha MP for filing false information in his poll affidavit, reported Live Law.

Revanna, the grandson of Janata Dal (Secular) chief and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, is the only legislator from the party in the Lok Sabha. He won the Hassan seat in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Justice K Natarajan pronounced the order in response to two petitions filed by A Manju, who had contested the Hassan seat on a Bharatiya Janata Party ticket, and G Devarajegowda, a voter from the constituency, reported The New Indian Express.
