Supreme Court overturned the order of Guwahati High Court

The bench of Justice AS Bopanna and Justice PS Narasimha accepted the bridge's appeal and overturned the High Court order. Let us inform that on April 25, Itanagar bench of Gauhati High Court had declared his election from Hyuliang assembly seat of Anjaw district invalid under the Representation of the People Act.

Dasanglu Pul (45), the third wife of former chief minister Kalikho Pul, was re-elected to the seat in 2019 after winning for the first time in the by-election in 2016 after her husband's death. Pul's election was challenged by Lupalam Kri, the losing Congress candidate in 2019. Kri claimed in her petition that Pul's candidature was largely flawed as she had not declared her husband's four properties in Mumbai and two in Arunachal Pradesh in the election affidavit.

 
He claimed that the returning officer had improperly accepted his candidature despite a written complaint against Pul. Dasanglu Pul told the court that as per the legal heir certificate, Kalikho Pul's first wife Dangwimsai Pul is the owner of his properties. Therefore he did not mention any of these assets in the election affidavit.
