The moves comes after the special PMLA court rejected their pleas seeking one day bail to be able to vote in the elections scheduled on Friday. 

 

The Enforcement Directorate while objecting to their bail pleas had told the court that prisoners cannot vote as per Representation of People (RPA) Act. The central agency cited the Act’s Section 62(5), which says no person “shall vote at any election if he is confined in a prison, whether under a sentence of imprisonment or transportation or otherwise, or is in the lawful custody of the police.”
