Lucknow. The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has refused to grant relief to BJP MP Sanghamitra Maurya in the case of alleged second marriage without divorce and cheating. The bench of Justice Jaspreet Singh passed this order.
Sanghamitra Maurya is BJP MP from Badaun, BJP has not made her its candidate in this election. A non-bailable warrant has been issued against him from the lower court.
High Court said – no error was made
On the petition of Sanghamitra Maurya, the court has said that the lower court has not committed any error by passing the order to summon him. The court also said that in the same case, on April 12, the petition of BJP MP’s father and former minister Swami Prasad Maurya has also been rejected.
The court has rejected the petition of Sanghamitra Maurya demanding quashing of the complaint proceedings and said that the lower court has passed the order after looking at all the facts.
This is the whole matter
According to the documents, plaintiff Deepak Kumar Swarnkar, resident of Sushant Golf City, has filed a complaint in the court against Sanghamitra and Swami Prasad Maurya and others.
Accused of carrying out a deadly attack
The plaintiff alleges that he and Sanghamitra were living in a live-in relationship since 2016. It is said that Sanghamitra and her father Swami Prasad Maurya told the plaintiff that Sanghamitra was divorced from her first marriage, hence the plaintiff married Sanghamitra at her house on January 3, 2019. Later, when he came to know that Sanghamitra was not divorced, he was attacked fatally so that the matter of marriage could not be revealed.
High Court rejected Sanghamitra’s arguments
While challenging the said complaint, it was argued on behalf of Sanghamitra that there are many contradictions in the allegations of the complainant, keeping in mind which the lower court has summoned the petitioner. It was also said that the trial court had not exercised its judicial discretion. Rejecting these arguments, the High Court said that there is no flaw in the summoning order passed by the trial court.
