The move follows a petition filed by the Congress party, which is challenging the Commission's action against Vyshna, a candidate for the Muttada ward in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. The court raised concerns about the propriety of her removal, suggesting that the Commission’s actions appeared to lack due process.

Vyshna, 24, a young and promising member of the United Democratic Front, was initially declared ineligible to contest after her name was struck from the voters list.
