Gwalior: The Gwalior bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court on Monday cancelled the caste certificate of Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Jajpal Singh Jajji and directed the superintendent of police of Ashok Nagar district to register a case against him on the issue. The single bench of Justice GS Ahluwalia, which imposed a cost of Rs 50,000 on Jajji, also directed the court registry to send a copy of the decision to the Madhya Pradesh Assembly speaker for necessary action.
On December 9, the matter was heard and verdict on the petition filed by BJP worker Ladduram Kori who contested unsuccessfully against Jajji in the 2018 Assembly polls from Ashok Nagar (Scheduled Caste-reserved) seat, was passed on Monday. The bench said that he had failed to prove he belongs to the 'Nat' community, which is listed as a Scheduled Caste.
