SC notice to PM

By Our Legal Correspondent

NEW DELHI April 8. The Supreme Court today ordered issue of notice to the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, on a special leave petition (SLP) challenging his election to the Lok Sabha from the Lucknow constituency in October 1999.

A Bench, comprising S.P. Bharucha, Shivraj V. Patil and D.M. Dharmadhikari, issued notice to the Prime Minister, returnable in six weeks on the SLP filed by Harikrishan Lal, against a judgment of the Allahabad High Court.

The High Court had dismissed Mr. Lal's petition on the ground that it was frivolous and without substance and outside the purview of the Representation of the People Act. .
