Supreme Court on Lotus symbol of BJP: Today, such a unique incident happened in the Supreme Court that even the judges of the Supreme Court were surprised. Actually, the matter is that a petition was filed demanding to take away the election symbol 'lotus' of BJP in which it was demanded that BJP should be stopped from using this election symbol. However, the Supreme Court immediately rejected this demand commenting that everyone is surprised.
What did the Supreme Court judges say…?
The Supreme Court judges scolded the petitioner and said that you are doing this to become famous. You want to become famous yourself but you want to make us famous too. Just look at your application, what relief have you asked for? It is worth noting that earlier in the month of March, a similar application was filed in the Madras High Court, which was immediately rejected by the court.
What did the petitioner demand…
Justice Vikram Nath and Justice P.B. Parleni Bench dismissed these petitions. This application was made by the applicant Jayant Bipat. He filed this petition in 2022 and claimed that as a political party, BJP is not entitled to the benefits of a registered party under the Representation of the People Act. He also sought directions to stop the benefits being given to the party and also demanded to stop the use of lotus as a symbol. The special thing is that the civil court dismissed this case in October 2023 on technical grounds. After this, Bipat filed an application in the Madhya Pradesh High Court and after getting a setback from there, he reached the Supreme Court.
