The himachal pradesh High court on wednesday served notice to Mandi-based bjp lok sabha member kangana ranaut regarding a petition filed by a resident of Kinnaur seeking to have her election annulled on the grounds that his nomination papers for the lok sabha seat were purportedly incorrectly denied. Judge jyotsna Rewal sent forth the notice and instructed Ms. Ranaut to respond by august 21.
 
After a 74,755 vote margin over her competitor congress candidate vikramaditya Singh, Ms. Ranaut was victorious in the Mandi lok sabha seat contest. In contrast to Singh's 4,62,267 votes, she had received 5,37,002 votes.

Layak ram Negi, the petitioner, said that the returning officer (Deputy Commissioner, Mandi) incorrectly rejected his nomination papers, making him a party, and he thus asked for the election of Ms Ranaut to be set aside.
 
Negi, a former forest department employee, said he was forced into an early retirement and gave the returning officer nomination documents and a "no dues certificate" from the agency.
 
Nevertheless, the returning officer rejected the nomination papers and refused to accept the "no due certificate" that he had filed to the telephone, water, and electricity authorities within the allotted day.
