India, July 12 -- A Bengaluru court on Friday granted bail to actor and former independent Lok Sabha candidate Prakash Raj in a case alleging voter registration discrepancies during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The 61-year-old is accused of being registered as a voter in multiple states and failing to disclose this in his election affidavit. With bail granted, the case will now proceed to trial. The court took cognisance of the matter on August 1 last year under Sections 31 and 125A of the Representation of the People Act (RPA). It had issued a non-bailable warrant after court summons could not be served on Raj. But the actor voluntarily appeared before the court on Friday. As per a Bar and Bench report, Raj has furnished a Rs.4,000 security deposit and has been directed to appear before the court for all future hearings zs a part of his bail conditions. His lawyer Nagarjuna also confirmed that Raj has surrendered his Tamil Nadu voter ID. Raj had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Bengaluru Central as an independent candidate. In his election affidavit, Raj declared his voter registration in Bengaluru's Shantinagar Assembly constituency. But as per the complaint filed the same year by Bengaluru resident K Dileep Kumar, Raj was also registered in Velachery, Chennai, and Serilingampally, Telangana, during the same period. Sections 17 and 18 of the RPA prohibit registration in more than one constituency. Sections 31 and 125A deal with false declarations and false affidavits, respectively. After reviewing the material submitted by the complainant, the court observed that Raj appeared on three separate electoral rolls in 2019 and found sufficient grounds to proceed with the charges.
