Akash Saxena, the BJP MLA from Rampur, in 2019 accused the Samajwadi Party leader and his wife of getting two birth certificates made for Abdullah Azam.
Azam Khan disqualification: The bench, which disposed of the plea, was prima facie of view that the stay, if any, on the conviction by an appellate court would be effective from the date of conviction in the trial court and as a result the disqualification becomes inoperative.
Azam Khan news: Earlier on Thursday Samajwadi Party leader and two other accused were sentenced to three years in prison along with a fine of Rs 2,000 in a hate speech case filed against him over his speech against state Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
