Supreme Court declines to interfere in Baghel election challenge
In short
The Supreme Court said it would not interfere with the election challenge involving Bhupesh Baghel’s Patan win. The summary says the petition was filed by BJP leader Vijay Baghel and that lawyers argued it was too late under the 45-day limit in the Representation of the People Act.
This matters because it keeps the election dispute alive in court. The report does not say the final outcome of the case.
