Gupta said in his plea that the five-time MP had violated constitutional and legal beliefs.  He told reporters on Tuesday that a petition was filed in the MP/MLA court on July 12, but it was rejected. Gupta then filed a revision petition in the district judge’s court.

District Judge Sudhir allowed the petition and issued a notice to Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday, asking him to appear before the court on January 7. Gupta said Asaduddin Owaisi’s slogan hurt him. His slogan was against the Constitution, he added.
