Breaking News: Supreme Court begins writing order in Meenakshi Natarajan nomination cancellation case

The Supreme Court is expected to deliver its decision shortly in the case concerning Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan’s cancelled Rajya Sabha nomination after indicating that it has begun drafting its order. The Congress challenged the cancellation before the apex court, arguing that the decision was unjustified and politically motivated. The BJP had reportedly objected to Natarajan’s nomination by citing a criminal case against her, leading to the rejection of her candidature. Meanwhile, Congress workers and leaders have staged protests on the streets, accusing the government and the BJP of undermining democratic processes and misusing legal provisions to target opposition leaders. During the hearing, the Supreme Court also sought previous judicial precedents related to similar nomination disputes. The verdict is being closely watched as it could have significant political and legal implications for both the Congress and the BJP.
