Congress candidate Yamini Rohilla has been granted permission to contest the Herbertpur Municipal Council presidential elections. A division bench of Nainital High Court, comprising Chief Justice G. Narendra and Justice Ashish Neithani, overturned the cancellation of her nomination papers. However, the election results will remain subject to the final verdict on the petition.
Background of the Case
Yamini Rohilla had challenged the rejection of her nomination by the Returning Officer (RO), who deemed her caste certificate issued by the Vikasnagar Tehsildar as disputed. The High Court reviewed her appeal and directed that she be allowed to participate in the elections.
