Lawyer M Ravi has applied to the Attorney-General's Chambers requesting for the Court to declare that SDP Chairman, John Tan, be allowed to stand for elections.
Tan was convicted and later fined $5000 for scandalising the Court, in relation to comments he made on a case involving local human rights activist, Jolovan Wham.
With the elections coming, Tan is eager to seek clarity on his standing and whether he can run for elections.
According to Ravi, Article 44 of the Constitution allows Tan to contest.
