Gwalior: Sharda Solanki, the mayor of Morena in Madhya Pradesh, has got a big relief from the Gwalior High Court. The court has rejected the order to register an FIR against her for submitting a fake marksheet. Along with this, the court has also directed to cancel all other actions related to this matter. In fact, Morena Mayor Sharda Solanki was accused of submitting a fake marksheet. In this case, the Judicial Magistrate First Class had issued an order on 30 September 2024 asking to register an FIR. Sharda Solanki had challenged this order in the High Court.
What did the mayor’s lawyer say during the hearing? During the hearing in the court, on behalf of Sharda Solanki, her lawyer Yash Sharma argued that only two things are necessary to contest the mayoral election – the age should be at least 25 years and she should be a native of Madhya Pradesh. In such a situation, it is not right to register an FIR on the basis of the tenth marksheet. The High Court gave a relief decision After hearing the arguments of both the parties, the court ruled that the tenth mark sheet cannot be considered a necessary document for the election. On this basis, the High Court cancelled the order of filing an FIR given by the judicial magistrate and also ordered to end all the proceedings related to this case.
This was the candidate who complained This whole matter started when Meena Jatav, BJP candidate in the urban body elections, filed a petition in the High Court calling Sharda Solanki’s mark sheet and caste certificate fake. Although she could not provide any concrete evidence of the caste certificate being fake in the court, but the matter of discrepancy in the tenth mark sheet definitely came to light. Mayor Sharda Solanki had claimed that she had passed the tenth examination from a school in 1986, but when the school was investigated, the management said that there was no student of that name in the school that year. Apart from this, according to the information received from ITI, the roll number on her mark sheet turned out to be of some other student. Keeping all these things in mind, the magistrate had ordered FIR, which has now been cancelled by the High Court.
