Amritpal Singh has been elected as an independent MP from Khadoor Sahib in Punjab.

Amritpal Singh Latest News: In a major development, the Supreme Court on Friday dismissed the petition against the election of imprisoned parliamentarian Amritpal Singh as a Lok Sabha MP.

According to information, the petitioner argued that Amritpal Singh, who allegedly does not owe allegiance to the Constitution of India, should not qualify for membership of Parliament under Article 84 of the Constitution. The bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan heard the case.

"You file an election petition," the bench stated when the petitioner raised concerns over Amritpal Singh's stance on the Indian Constitution.

The petitioner, who appeared in person and was not a voter in the Khadoor Sahib constituency, said he felt "deeply hurt" by Singh's previous statements.

"It is a matter of evidence. There are procedures prescribed. There are provisions in the Representation of the People Act," the bench observed.
