Hardik Patel moves Supreme Court in a bid to contest Lok Sabha polls

New Delhi, Apr 1 (UNI): Gujarat Congress member Hardik Patel on Monday approached the Supreme Court seeking suspension of his conviction in a 2015 rioting case.

The suspension of conviction would pave the way for him to contest the Lok Sabha polls.

Patel was convicted by the additional sessions judge at Mehsana in Gujarat in connection with a case in which he was found guilty of rioting and arson during the Patidar quota stir in 2015.

Patel had moved the apex court challenging the order of the Gujarat High Court which had in August 2018 suspended his jail sentence but not the conviction.

On Friday, the high court had declined to cancel his conviction.
