Raut's plea alleged that the MP and his campaign workers had resorted to 'corrupt and illegal practices' to secure a win.

Rane's application, filed through advocate Satish Maneshinde, contends that the election petition is defective and lacks basic materials and facts, rendering it unsustainable. It emphasizes that election results should not be "lightly interfered with" and any challenge must strictly comply with mandatory legal provisions.
