The Bombay High Court has issued summons to Ravindra Waikar of the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) in response to a petition by Amol Kirtikar of Shiv Sena (UBT), challenging Waikar's narrow victory in the Mumbai North-West Lok Sabha constituency. Kirtikar alleges various discrepancies and lapses by Election Commission officials, including the improper acceptance of void votes and denial of a recount request. Meanwhile, the Gujarat High Court has summoned BJP MP Mukesh Dalal over two petitions questioning his uncontested win from the Surat Lok Sabha constituency. The petitioners, who are Congress members, challenge the rejection of their candidate Nilesh Kumbhani's nomination, alleging procedural violations by the returning officer. Both cases highlight ongoing legal battles over electoral irregularities and procedural fairness in India's recent general elections.
