Supreme Court will hear on 9th July Congress leader Ahmed Patel's petition seeking a direction to the Gujarat High Court not to proceed with a plea challenging his election to the Rajya Sabha.

Patel was elected to the Rajya Sabha last year after beating BJP nominee Balwantsinh Rajput, who had resigned from the Congress to join the BJP. The win for the Congress leader came after the Election Commission cancelled the votes of two Congress MLAs. This had brought down the requirement for an outright victory for a candidate to 44 from 45. Immediately after Patel got elected, Rajput filed a petition in the high court challenging the Election Commission's decision to invalidate votes of the two rebel MLAs.

Rajput's petition in the high court also alleged that Patel took party MLAs to a resort in Bengaluru before the election, amounting to bribing the voters.
