Jamshedpur : Aditypur Advocates Association has welcomed the decision od Supreme Court to implement Right to Reject. �This is a wonderful judgment.

This will certainly force the political parties to field clean candidates in election,� said Narendra Prasad during a meeting of the association.

In a landmark judgment, the apex court, on Friday, directed the election commission of India to give the electorate �none of the above� (NOTA) provision, as in to reject all candidates in a constituency.
