The Supreme Court on Monday (December 8, 2025) sought response from Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on a plea challenging his election from the Varuna Assembly constituency in the 2023 State elections.
A Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta issued notice to Mr. Siddaramaiah seeking his reply on a plea filed by one K. Shankara.
“Issue notice,” the Bench said.
Mr. Shankara has moved the Supreme Court challenging an April 22 order of the Karnataka High Court which dismissed his plea seeking to declare the election of Mr. Siddaramaiah from the Varuna Assembly constituency as void.
The petitioner alleged that Mr. Siddaramaiah had indulged in corrupt practice under the provision of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
The High Court had dismissed Mr. Shankara’s election petition.
