Lucknow: <\/b><\/p>\n

Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan’s appeal against a conviction in a hate speech case, which led to his disqualification as an MLA, was rejected by a local court in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Mr Khan had filed the appeal in the Rampur district and sessions court a day ago, after the Supreme Court directed the lower court to hear and rule on the appeal by Thursday, requesting his conviction to be put on hold.<\/p>\n

The Rampur court had on October 27 sentenced Mr Khan to three years of imprisonment in the hate speech case of 2019.<\/p>\n

Following his conviction, he was disqualified as a member of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly under provisions of the Representation of the People Act.<\/p>\n

The Assembly secretariat had subsequently declared his Rampur Sadar seat vacant.<\/p>\n

The Election Commission has already announced a by-election in the Rampur Sadar constituency along with some other assembly seats and the Mainpuri Lok Sabha seat on December 5.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court during the day directed the Election Commission not to issue till November 10 the notification for the election to the Rampur Sadar seat.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court said the Election Commission can issue the notification for the poll on or after November 11 once the sessions court rules on Mr Khan’s plea.<\/p>\n

The Rampur district and sessions court, while admitting Mr Khan’s appeal, had granted him interim bail in the case till November 16, the Samajwadi Party leader’s lawyer Vinod Sharma said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
