# Supreme Court to hear plea against AAP MLA Vishesh Ravi’s 2020 election 2026-08-17T19:16:30+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to examine a plea against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Vishesh Ravi's 2020 election from Delhi's Karol Bagh constituency. A bench of justices BV Nagarathna and R Mahadevan will hear the petition filed by BJP MP Yogender Chandolia, who lost to Ravi in the 2020 polls by over 67,000 votes. Chandolia alleged that Ravi made a false declaration about his educational qualifications in his nomination form. Ravi declared himself a B.Com graduate in 2013, "pursuing B.A Programme" in 2015, and Class 10 pass in 2020. Chandolia argued this amounted to corrupt practice under Section 123(4) of the Representation of the People Act. The Delhi high court had dismissed the petition in April, ruling that the section covers false statements about another candidate, not one's own qualifications. It also said the petition had become infructuous after Ravi's term ended and he was re-elected in 2025. The Supreme Court will examine the question of law raised by Chandolia. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
