Office of Profit: Delhi HC gives big relief to AAP MLAs, Kejriwal; MLAs were not given a chance to put their point says Saurabh Bhardwaj

The Aam Aadmi party chief gets a big relief after the Delhi High Court set aside the EC recommendations to disqualification of 20 AAP MLAs in the connection to the Office of Profit when they were appointed parliamentary secretaries.

A bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Chander Shekhar had announced the judgement after the legislators, Election Commission of India (EC) and other parties had concluded their arguments.

Prashant Patel, petitioner in the 20 AAP MLAs disqualification case says, the court has said that this case will be reopened. I had just raised a constitutional issue, there is no setback for me.

Delhi High Court said violation of oral hearing norms by EC and failure to communicate that OP Rawat after recusing had rejoined proceedings were the reasons to quash the Jan 19 order.

Saurabh Bhardwaj, AAP on relief to AAP MLAs says, MLAs were not given a chance to put their point, so now the court has given them a chance to do that. The EC will hear their plea again.
