Y Erabot, Wangkhei AC MLA, filed an application to Legislative Assembly Manipur, secretary for disqualifying Okram Henry for a period of six years from contesting election under section 8A RP Act.
In the application, Erabot stated that Henry has been declared null and void on the ground of corrupt practice under RP Act by the High Court of Manipur. And even the court specially observed the crime committed by Henry with smuggling of Narcotics Drugs, which is one of the heinous crimes against the society, he stated.
However, though the Manipur State Election Commission was well aware of the High Court order, they deliberately failed to hold Henry as disqualified from contesting election and take appropriate actions under section 8A of RP Act.
The state election commission even failed to file any complaint or lodged any FIR against Henry, Erabot said.
So, Yumkham Erabot, through his counsel prayed for declaration of Henry disqualified from contesting election for a maximum period of six years as provided under section 8A of RP Act.
