Kerala HC invalidates oaths taken in names other than 'God' or solemn affirmation
The Kerala High Court has mandated that elected local representatives must take their oaths strictly as prescribed by law, invalidating oaths that included names beyond 'God' or personal affirmations. The court ruled that invoking specific deities, 'Mother India', or political figures is not permitted. While elections remain valid, affected councillors must retake their oaths correctly within four weeks, with past actions protected for most.
