This query is : Resolved
I am Raviraj, (Social Worker) and would like to file PIL in the Supreme Court of India related to Election matter.
I would like to file PIL on the following matter:
Whether already elected MLA (just after completing 1 year),can contest for the Loksabha Election. In case he gets elected, he would resign for the MLA post and Re-election will be held for that Constituency. Once re-election held, Crors of rupees would be spent and people time, resource & money etc. would be wasted.
I would like to know whether above cited issue comes under the PIL or not. If PIL can be filed the follwing issues also may be clarified please :
Whether any Lawyer is available to help me to file PIL at free of cost & nominal amount.
When I asked with a few Lawyer, they told me that it would cost me around 50,000 to 1 Lakh. I find it it is very huge amount to be spent for Social Cause. I cant afford it.
Please guide me in this regard, because we people (educated) should stop all these unwanted things.
Sir,If I don’t file it, he may win the MP seat and try for the Minister Position. If he gets the Minister post, he would resign to the MLA seat and his Son would contest for that seat. It is really heights of anything and National Waste.
I am just 32 year old person, but i feel very uncomfortable when all these unethical things happen in front of me sir. In my state alone 4 to 5 MLA's are going to contest MP seat. If we educated people can’t stop all those things, who will change the system ?
Please guide me.
with regards,
Raviraj

If you are serious you can file PIL and fight it in person also.
You can look for cheaper lawyer also.

sir, very good idea. unfortunately, there is no law to bar them. so your PIL will not stand. still, if you wanted to move, i'll help you. i moved following political PIL, so do not worry about experience. https://www.facebook.com/journalists/posts/386919527986734

50,000 to 1 Lakh
it is very humble estimate. The lawyer either is not a senior one or trying to invite you in litigation and the making you spend twice/trice of this.
After badly losing this case in High Court you will go in Supreme Court also.
Anyway this is not a big cost for settling personal score in the garb of PIL.

why you are sure he will win MP election why you are sure his son will then be MLA.
why do not you file a nomination against him in both elections and get him defeated. If he wins as MP against you then defeat his son in MLA election.
