John in his petition said that during the election campaign, Tharoor had brought out a progress report of his achievements during his 2009-14 Lok Sabha term that had several false claims.

"Justice P. Bhavadasan after going through the replies that Tharoor had filed was convinced and hence dismissed the petition and has closed the case," the statement said.
