Kumar Vishwas and AAP Leaders Ordered to Appear in Court for Code of Conduct Violation Case The Special MP/MLA Court in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has directed Kumar Vishwas, a former AAP leader and poet, along with former Delhi ministers Satyendra Jain and Somnath Bharti, to appear in court on May 15 for a code of conduct violation case. The court issued summonses to all accused in the case, which relates to allegations from 2014. Kumar Vishwas was a candidate for the AAP in the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency during the 2014 elections. The case alleges that then-constable Mohammad Hamid instructed Vishwas and his supporters to vacate the constituency as they were not registered voters there. According to election rules, individuals from outside the constituency are prohibited from residing there 48 hours before polling. Despite repeated administrative orders, Vishwas, Jain, Bharti, and their supporters did not leave the area, leading the police to file a complaint for violating the code of conduct. The case was initially under the jurisdiction of an Additional District Magistrate but was transferred to the Special MP/MLA Court presided over by Magistrate Shubham Verma. The court has scheduled the next hearing for May 15, requiring all accused to appear in person. The case highlights the legal scrutiny faced by political figures for alleged violations of electoral regulations. The court's strict stance underscores the importance of adhering to electoral guidelines, particularly regarding the conduct of candidates and their supporters during election campaigns. The summons to the accused reflects the judicial process in addressing allegations of code of conduct breaches, which are critical to maintaining electoral integrity.#kumar_vishwas #satyendra_jain #somnath_bharti #special_mp_mla_court #sultanpur_up
