NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court will hear the plea of AAP MLAs, challenging an Election Commission order in the office-of-profit case on Tuesday. The AAP legislators have challenged the Election Commission's July 17 order rejecting their pleas seeking to cross-examine the complainant and advocate Prashant Patel.
On March 23, the high court had set aside the Election Commission recommendation disqualifying 20 ruling party MLAs in an office-of-profit case and asked the EC to hear the case afresh because the MLAs were not given proper hearing before the poll panel decided on their disqualification. The MLAs were disqualified for holding office-of-profit when they were appointed parliamentary secretaries. Meanwhile, the Election Commission on Monday fixed August 20 for hearing the case on the request of the
AAP MLAs.
