Office Of Profit Case: Delhi HC refuses to grant interim relief to AAP MLAs. Delhi high court on Friday refused to grant interim relief to Aam Aadmi Party MLAs. Delhi High Court will  hear the matter on Monday. The AAP MLAs had approached the court against the Election Commission’s (EC) recommendation to the President to disqualify 20 of them for allegedly holding offices of profit. The petition was made to disqualify 21 MLAs, but one of them — Jarnail Singh — had resigned last year to contest the Punjab elections. A bench was headed by acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal for urgent hearing. Earlier in the day, the EC had recommended to the President the disqualification of 20 AAP MLAs for allegedly holding offices of profit. The EC in its opinion sent to President Ram Nath Kovind, said by being parliamentary secretaries, they held office of profit and were liable to be disqualified as MLAs of the Delhi Assembly. The President is bound to go by the recommendation of the EC. In cases where petitions are made seeking disqualification of lawmakers, the President sends a reference to the poll panel, which decides on the case by sending back its opinion. -PTC News-
