The Election Commission Of India (ECI) on Monday Dec 11,2017 told the Supreme Court of India(SCI) that a
candidate should not contest from two constituencies as the court sought
the assistance of the Attorney General in the matter.
A bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice DY Chandrachud sought the assistance of KK Venugopal as it directed petitioner Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay to serve a copy of the petition to the Attorney General.
Upadhyay has challenged Section 33(7) of the Representation of People Act that allows a person to contest elections for parliament and the state assemblies from two constituencies.
He has sought prohibition on contesting elections from two constituencies at all levels -- parliament and the state assemblies
