Kerala High court on Monday set aside the election of Congress MP and AICC Secretary, Kodukunnil Suresh from the Mavelikara Reserved Parliamentary constituency.
The order in this regard was issued by Justice G Shashidharan Nambiar in a 160 page judgment while allowing the election petition of defeated candidate R S Anil of the CPI challenging Suresh's election and two others.
The court found that there were conflicting statements made by Kodikunnil Suresh about his caste status. As per school records, he is a converted Christian and was not entitled for the benefit of being a scheduled caste member.
