Patna High Court PIL Challenges Deepak Prakash Nomination As Bihar MLC

A public interest litigation has been filed before the Patna High Court challenging the nomination of <b>Deepak Prakash</b> as a member of the Bihar Legislative Council. The petition alleges that the appointment violates Articles 171(3)(e) and 171(5) of the Constitution of India. Filed by Prince Kumar Ojha under Article 226, the petition seeks a writ of quo warranto and a writ of certiorari to quash the official notification. The petitioner contends that the constitutional requirement of possessing special knowledge in fields like literature, science, art, the cooperative movement, and social service is indispensable and unfulfilled. The matter is currently under judicial scrutiny as the petitioner asks the court to examine the authority by which <b>Deepak Prakash</b> occupies the public office.
