The Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside a verdict of the Kerala High Court which nullified the election of Communist Party of India - Marxist (CPIM) leader A Raja from Devikulam Assembly seat in the 2021 legislative elections.

A bench of Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and Prashant Kumar Mishra allowed the appeal filed by Raja against the order of the High Court on March 23, 2023.
"The impugned judgment rendered by the High Court is set aside and the election petition stands dismissed. The appellant is entitled to all consequential benefits as a member of the legislative assembly for the entire period," the bench said in its order.
The apex court on 26 September last year had reserved its judgement on Raja's plea.
