Mohnani meanwhile told media persons that he would again go to the High Court demanding fair justice to male candidates. He argued that while there are two reserved seats for women, the other two seats in the ward should be reserved for men. He said Kubernagar ward has three female councilor and one male councilor which is injustice to males. He said he would challenge the verdict again on this ground in the high court. DeshGujarat
