The Division Bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Chander Shekhar of Delhi High Court today concluded arguments and reserved its judgment in the petitions challenging the disqualification of 20 MLAs of Delhi assembly by the President, Ram Nath Kovind, on the Election Commission’s recommendation that they held offices of profit, by virtue of their appointment as Parliamentary Secretaries.

However, no such date was intimated to the Petitioners, and neither were they informed about the recusal and rejoining of Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. O.P. Rawat. This, the Court opined, vitiated the entire proceedings. The Petitions The MLAs had … [Read more...] about Office Of Profit Row: Here Is What The Delhi HC Said While Setting Aside Disqualification Of 20 AAP MLAs [Read Judgment]
