Six nominations were filed on Friday for the July 17 presidential polls but all six were rejected by the returning officer for want of proper documents.

On the third day of nominations, six persons filed their papers but none of them attached a certified copy of their entry in the electoral roll. As a result were rejected, sources in the Lok Sabha secretariat said.

Those who filed the papers were Vijay Narayan Pal and Saraswati Sharma from Kanpur, Sanjay Kumar from Shamali, Lala Ram from Alwar, A.K. Singh Chauhan from Mainpuri and Birpal Singh Malik from New Delhi.
