SC rejects plea against election of Amritpal Singh as Lok Sabha MP

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a plea against the election of jailed radical Sikh preacher Amritpal Singh as an MP from Punjab’s Khadoor Sahib.
The petitioner claimed before a bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan that Article 84 of the Constitution deals with qualification for membership of Parliament and says that a person shall not be qualified to be chosen to fill a seat in Parliament unless he is a citizen of India.
“In this case, respondent number four (Amritpal Singh) had said that he does not owe allegiance to the Constitution of India,” the petitioner, who appeared in-person, said.
