Rajendra Kumar Meshram, a BJP MLA from Devsar (SC) seat in Singrauli, had earlier moved the Apex Court against the High Court’s order nullifying his nomination on the ground of resorting to unfair means to win the assembly polls in May 2015.
The Apex Court, while accepting his appeal for hearing, had allowed him to participate in the Assembly proceedings without the right to vote. The MLA has moved for modification of the May 5, 2015 order to exercise his franchise in biennial Rajya Sabha polls.
