The Supreme Court today set aside the Bombay High Court order and directed the Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to face trial for allegedly failing to furnish details of two pending criminal cases.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi passed the orders on the plea filed by one Satish Ukey.

On 23rd of July this year, the top court, while reserving the verdict, had said that the alleged omission by Fadnavis of not disclosing information about two criminal cases in his election affidavit in the 2014 Assembly polls may be decided in the trial.
