The Supreme Court has agreed to hear on Friday a plea by rebel AAP MLA Devender Sehrawat challenging the disqualification notice.
In January, the Election Commission had recommended disqualification of 20 MLAs of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) reducing the total number of AAP MLAs in the Delhi assembly to 46 from the then existing 66.
The Election Commission on Friday announced that it will grant an oral hearing to the 20 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs in the office of profit case on May 17.
The poll panel said that the MLAs have not challenged the President's January 20 decision, by which its recommendation was accepted.
The AAP seems to have jumped on to the bandwagon of traders protesting against a sealing drive with renewed aggression after the recent disqualification of 20 of its MLAs.
The High Court asked the Election Commission to file an affidavit stating the factual aspects behind its decision to disqualify the 20 Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLAs for holding office of profit.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led party had on Tuesday approached the Delhi High Court seeking to quash the disqualification of its MLAs accused of holding the ‘office of profit’.
