    The Telangana High Court’s single bench of Justice M. Lakshman listened to the petition filed by Raghavendra Raju against V Srinvas Goud, MLA (BRS) Mahbubnagar. Raju wants Goud’s election to be declared “invalid” because he allegedly hid information about his wife’s lands and loans in the affidavit submitted before the returning officer. Raju claims that Goud, with the help of the returning officer, changed the affidavit. Goud submitted three different affidavits during the election, and he replaced the one dated November 14 with the one dated November 19 in violation of the RP Act. The judge noted that candidates are allowed to make changes to their election affidavit and accepted the affidavit dated November 19. The petition was adjourned for further hearing on August 7.

    Goud’s counsel informed the court that Raju is spreading false information about the case in the media and requested a direction to restrain him from speaking about it. Justice Lakshman directed Raju not to refer to the court proceedings in the petition when speaking to the media without permission. He also asked Raju to submit a list of proposed witnesses for examination on August 7 and accepted Goud’s affidavit dated November 19.
