New Delhi: A court here on Thursday took cognizance of a complaint against Aam Aadmi Party legislator Bhavna Gaur for allegedly misrepresenting facts about her educational qualifications in her election affidavits.

Metropolitan Magistrate Pankaj Sharma took cognisance of a complaint filed by lawyer Samarendra Nath Verma through his counsel P.S. Singh against the legislator from Palam assembly constituency.

The petitioner alleged that Gaur has furnished different information about her educational qualifications in her two election affidavits filed during the Delhi assembly elections in 2013 and 2015.

In 2013, she claimed to be Class 12 pass but in the 2015 affidavit, she mentioned herself as a Delhi University graduate and holding a Bachelor of Education degree from Maharshi Dayanand University in Rohtak, the petitioner claimed.

The petitioner sought action against her for offences under the Representation of the People Act.

“The present complaint is maintainable as the same is filed by a competent person having locus standi and same is within limitation,” the court said.

The court also recorded Verma’s statement as a complainant witness in the case and then posted the matter for examining other evidence for July 25.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
