The Delhi High Court on Thursday dismissed a petition seeking the disqualification of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from contesting in the Lok Sabha elections, Live Law reported.

The petition was filed by Deepak Kumar, a pilot, who claimed that Modi had submitted a false oath to the returning officer that he would bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India.

Kumar also accused the prime minister of conspiring to destabilise national security. He alleged that Modi had planned the crash of an Air India flight being flown by Kumar in 2018.
