Delhi High Court gives Centre, opposition parties last chance to reply to plea against use of INDIA acronym

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday gave the last opportunity to the Centre and several political parties to respond to a petition seeking to restrain them from using the acronym I.N.D.I.A. (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance).

The high court told the parties to submit their response within a week to the public interest litigation which alleged that by using the I.N.D.I.A. acronym, the parties were taking “undue advantage in the name of our country”.

The court was hearing an application by Mr Girish Bharadwaj seeking early hearing of the matter on the grounds that the petition was pending since August 2023 and the election schedule has already been announced by the Election Commission.
