New Delhi, Jul 6 (PTI) The Supreme Court has asked the Kerala High Court to examine afresh a petition filed by Congress candidate K K Ramachandran challenging the election of JD (S) candidate M.V. Sreyamakumar from Kalpetta Assembly constitutency in April 29, 2006, elections. A bench of Justices D K Jain and T S Thakur asked the High Court to examine the contents of the petition filed by Ramachandran, a former minister, challenging the election of Sreyamkumar whom he had accused of indulging in electoral malpractices. The allegation of the Congress candidate was that Sreyamkumar had won the election by making false allegations of bribery against him in a newspaper and thus defaming and lowering his image in the eyes of the public. The Kerala High Court had dismissed the Congress candidate''s plea on the ground that he had not disclosed sufficient reasons for entertaining the petition. However, the apex court, after going through the details, noted that Ramachandran had disclosed sufficient details in his petition and hence the High Court ought to examine his petition on merits.
