Summary:
The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday criticised Education minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama for 'delay tactics' affecting the progress in the adjudication of the election petition filed by Congress' Ashwin Rathod against the latter's controversial poll victory from Dholka assembly constituency. The counsel for Chudasama attracted the court's criticism for not serving the affidavit in lieu of the examination-in-chief of the witnesses furnished by them in the case. As a result, the counsel for Rathod could not carry out their cross-examination. It also said the delay tactics adopted by them would not work before the court. Thereafter, the court adjourned the matter till Wednesday, when the cross-examination of Kadari is likely to take place..
