New Delhi: The debarred Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) challenged the assessment of the Election Commission to exclude them in an office-of-profit case before the Delhi High Court on Tuesday.

The disqualified AAP MLAs made an urgent talk about their case before a bench of Justice S. Ravindra Bhat and Justice A.K. Chawla, who then placed the case for hearing on Wednesday.

The progress appeared a day following the disqualified AAP MLAs take out their plea from the High Court challenging the Election Committee proposal to disqualify them in the office of profit case.

On January 19, the Election Commission recommended to the President asserting that by being parliamentary secretaries, the AAP legislators conducted office of profit and must be disqualified from the Delhi Assembly. Stand-in on the outlook, President Ram Nath Kovind on Sunday gave his consent for the disqualification of the MLAs.

The President is bound by the proposal of the EC. If the President receives an appeal seeking disqualification of politicians, he refers it to the EC. The Election Committee takes a decision and sends its proposal to the Rashtrapati Bhavan which is accepted.

Though, a constitutional clause disallows legislators or parliamentarians from asserting any position with monetary or other reimbursements.
