EC asks both the teams to draft issues in Ashok Chavan paid news case

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 23 Mei 2014 | 22.44

NEW DELHI: The Election Commission on Friday asked the legal teams of both former Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan and Madhav Kinhalkar, the independent candidate who complained to EC against Chavan's non-declaration of expenses on an alleged "paid news" item during the 2009 state polls, to submit their respective drafts of "issues" to be taken up when regular hearing in the case commences on May 30.

"Both the parties were asked to draft issues they would like to raise and submit the same to EC by Monday. The EC will decide on framing the issues when it hears the case next week," senior Commission official told TOI.

A team of lawyers on Friday represented Chavan, who recently won the Lok Sabha polls on a Congress ticket from Nanded, before the EC as it took up the complaint filed against the ex-chief minister for poll expenses made by him on an alleged paid news item while contesting the 2009 assembly election in Maharashtra. The complaint claims Chavan had failed to furnish an account of the same while filing his poll expenditure statement.

Chavan, in response to EC's summons issued to him last week, had requested the poll panel to frame the issues against him before proceeding in the case.

A similar case of furnishing allegedly false election accounts by former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda, will now be heard on May 26.

The EC, on the directions of the Supreme Court, had issued a notice to Chavan last week to appear before it in connection with the case of alleged expenses made by him during the 2009 polls which were categorised as "paid news".

The apex court had, in a recent ruling, upheld the EC's writ to inquire into complaints of 'paid news' or incorrect expenses against a political leader.
A bench headed by Justice A K Patnaik dismissed Chavan's plea challenging the Commission's jurisdiction to inquire into such issues. It directed the Commission to inquire into the complaint against Chavan within 45 days.
