Jabalpur, Jan 09: The Madhya Pradesh high court here today 'reserved' its judgement on the order of election tribunal of Katni, which set aside election of Mayor Kamla Jaan, an eunuch, over her 'sex'.
The counsels for the applicants submitted that once the voters list is finalised the respondents are debarred from questioning its legality.
Nobody had questioned the sex during the filing of nomination paper nor during the filing of the election petition, the counsels for Kamla Jaan argued.
Unseating her as mayor on grounds of 'sex' was illegal, arbitrary and against the set norms of law, the counsels said.
