New Delhi, Dec 13 (IBNS): The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a notice to Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis for allegedly not disclosing criminal cases against high in his 2014 election affidavit.

 
A bench comprising Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, Justice S.K. Kaul and Justice K.M. Joseph sought his reply to a petition seeking his disqualification as legislator for the non-disclosure. 
 
In September 2015, lawyer Satish Ukey filed a petition in the court of Judicial Magistrate in Nagpur challenging the election of Fadnavis but it was dismissed. He then moved the Sessions Court, which directed the Magistrate to reconsider its decision. Consequently, the chief minister went to the High Court challenging the Sessions Court order. Ukey then challenged the High Court's decision in the Supreme Court, NDTV said.

Appearing for the petitioner, senior Congress leader and advocate Kapil Sibal argued Fadnavis didn't "disclose details of the" pending cases and "as per law he had to disclose cases taken cognisance by a court."
 
Fadanavis, 48, a BJP legislator from Nagpur South West constituency, is the second youngest chief minister of Maharashtra.
