The verdict, stemming from a dispute over Sarania’s ethnic certificate, has been a subject of contention in recent legal proceedings. The High Court declared that Naba Kumar Sarania is not recognized as a scheduled tribe (ST), casting doubt on his eligibility to continue representing Kokrajhar in the Lok Sabha.
Naba Kumar Sarania, a prominent Indian politician, has been serving as an Independent candidate and later as a member of the Gana Suraksha Party since 2014. However, the recent court ruling raises questions about his ability to maintain his seat in the parliament.
The controversy surrounding Sarania’s ethnic certificate has been ongoing, with the High Court’s decision marking a pivotal moment in this legal battle. Sarania had previously alleged a conspiracy orchestrated by the Assam government, accusing certain individuals of working to undermine his position and electoral prospects in Kokrajhar.
Addressing the media following the court ruling, Sarania reiterated his stance, stating that there has been a deliberate effort to hinder his political career in Kokrajhar. The verdict has significant implications for the political landscape in Assam, particularly in the Kokrajhar constituency, as parties and candidates reassess their strategies in light of the court’s decision. Further developments in this legal saga are anticipated as Sarania and his supporters navigate the aftermath of the High Court’s ruling.
