Hyderabad: Justice M Laxman of the Telangana High Court on Monday dismissed an interlocutory application filed by Thungathurthi BRS MLA Kishore Kumar Gadari which sought the dismissal of to election petition filed against him by Addanki Dayakar of the Congress. Kishore won the seat against Dayakar with a margin of 1,847 votes in the 2018 Assembly polls.

He filed a petition before the High Court seeking to set aside the election of Kishore and requested the court to declare him as MLA of Thungathurthi. Kishore sought dismissal of the election petition stating that it was void of merit. Hearing both parties, the judge dismissed the application of Kishore and adjourned the hearing to September 4.
