Hyderabad Court Clears Natarajan, No Pending Criminal Case

A Hyderabad court dismissed a complaint against Congress leader Meenakshi Natarajan, confirming no criminal case existed against her. Earlier, her Rajya Sabha nomination was rejected due to non-disclosure of this complaint. The Supreme Court later dismissed her plea challenging the rejection, ruling courts avoid interfering once elections begin. Congress criticized the decision as an abuse of power. Telangana Congress chief stated no valid criminal case warranted her rejection.
