SC Junks Plea Seeking Handcuff Election Symbol for Candidates With Criminal Background

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a PIL seeking an election symbol of handcuff for candidates with criminal antecedents.

A bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud said it was not inclined to entertain the matter as it is a policy issue.

“How can we do it. This is a policy matter. We can’t ask them to put election symbol of handcuff. You withdraw it,” the bench, also comprising Justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, said.
