The High Court has notified Rahul Bose, the Himachal government and the Solan deputy commissioner on the petition challenging his domicile certificate, with replies due on December 18. Petitioner Divya Kumari alleges Bose obtained a Himachal domicile despite being born in Kolkata and holding Maharashtra identification documents. The filing claims the certificate was used to secure two state votes considered crucial in Rugby India elections. Local organisers say a two-year effort to build a Himachal rugby association with hundreds of members has been sidelined as a new body is formed. Reports note Bose has not issued an official public response as the case intensifies scrutiny of rugby governance in the state.
