Arora, who filed a complaint with the Election Commission, accused the chief minister of providing false income details in his papers and claimed that he was possessing two PAN cards.
She also claimed that his signature appeared to be different from the one used during his 2014 bypoll nomination from Dharchula.
The rebel leader demanded that his nomination be cancelled.
She registered her complaint along with BJP candidate Rajesh Shukla but EC officer Naresh Chandra Durgapal, after hearing both parties, dismissed it.
On the allegation of Rawat's two PAN cards, he said the IT department had already been informed about this and currently the CM is using only on PAN card.
