Article 329(b) bars post-election asset-disclosure challenges via writ petition | Election grievance must be raised in election petition : MP HC

The court dismissed a writ petition seeking investigation of a returned candidate’s alleged asset concealment, holding that Article 329(b) precludes judicial review of post-election disclosures. Such grievances must be raised through a timely election petition under the Representation of the People Act, limiting the use of writ jurisdiction for election-related matters.
