CPI(M) MLA's election set aside

Staff Reporter

KOCHI: The Kerala High Court on Friday set aside the election of CPI(M) candidate M.J. Jacob to the State Assembly from the Piravom constituency. He was elected to the Assembly by defeating his nearest rival and former Water Resources Minister T.M. Jacob in the election held on April 29, 2006 by a margin of 5,150 votes.

Justice Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan passed the order on an election petition filed by A. Narayanan from Koothattukulam. According to him, Mr. Jacob and his election agent had committed corrupt practices under Section 123(4) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 by publishing and distributing pamphlets containing false personal allegations.
