candidates have been fielded in each of the constituencies. Mode Code of conduct has been

made applicable through out the country. During this period, one of the candidates of the

Indian national congress party, i.e. Mr. Madhusudan Mistri, who has filed his nomination

from 20-vadodara, Gujarat, have been making all the statements in contravention to the

provisions of the model code of conduct and against the provisions of the representation of

Peoples act 1951 as also the Indian Penal Code.

2. It is submitted that Mr. Madhusudan Mistri, have crossed all the permissible limits and

restrains under the law by making loose and vulgar statements which directly is against

the credibility and the dignity of women as a whole. Mr. Madhusudan Mistri has made a

statement as follows:

“first of all she should get the medical examination done and then say that there is

good news”.

This statement has been made in pursuance of the question asked by a media person to

him that as per the statement of Mrs. Sushma Swaraj, there are all chances of good news

what is his response to the said statement. While responding to the same he has made

afore mentioned statement.

This statement is vulgar and is intended to tarnish the image of a woman who herself is an

elderly person. Not only that the said statement is derogatory and against the dignity of the

women fraternity as a whole. The election commission specifically provides that no person

shall make any statements that would lead to corrupt practices and at the same time there

shall be no appeal on the grounds of caste, creed, community, religion, sex, gender, etc.

of section 153A, 153B, 295A and 505(2) of the Indian penal code apart from the other

Mistri it is required to be brought to the notice of the election commission that the state

authorities concerned have not acted with the requried alacrity and even FIRS have not

been filed, wherever call for, against the abovementioned political leader. In view of the
