ANC chief Muzaffar Shah said that the party will be filing a writ petition before the High Court of J&K challenging the decision of the State Election Commission declaring the Apni Party candidate successful in Bandipora A segment “after mass rigging & booth capture at Garoora A&B booths on the polling day under gross violations of the election rules,” Shah said.
