The Delhi High Court on August 4 asked the Centre, Election Commission of India (ECI), and 26 political parties to respond to a petition seeking to restrain Opposition parties from using the acronym INDIA for their alliance.
A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Amit Mahajan issued notices to the petition filed by Mr Girish Bharadwaj “requires hearing”. The bench, however, refused to grant any interim relief at this stage and said that no order can be passed without hearing the opposite parties.
“We can’t pass any order like this. Let the response of the other side come. We will definitely look into it,” the bench said.
