The Bombay High Court on Wednesday rejected a petition filed by Shiv Sena (UBT) corporator and former Mumbai Mayor Vishakha Raut, challenging the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner’s order removing her as a corporator, reported the PTI.

The case relates to the validity of Raut’s Other Backward Classes (OBC) caste certificate. The civic commissioner had also informed the Maharashtra government to notify her disqualification from contesting elections for six years, the news agency reported.
