Gautam Buddha Nagar

A bench led by Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna questioned the Allahabad High Court’s decision to remove the Gautam Buddha Nagar District Magistrate (DM) from the case. The Supreme Court will take up the matter again after March 24.

In her petition, Geeta Rani accused the presiding officer of wrongfully canceling her nomination. She contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as an independent candidate.

The Election Commission reported a total of 1,202 candidates contesting in this phase, with 1,098 being male, 102 female, and two representing the third gender.
