The Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the State poll panel to “come prepared” with its stand on Yogendra Yadav-led Swaraj India’s plea for allotting a common symbol to the party for the upcoming civic polls.
“Get instructions and come prepared,” Justice Hima Kohli told the counsel appearing for the Delhi State Election Commission. She listed the matter on March 20 as the counsel for the poll panel had not been given a copy of the petition. Swaraj India has sought quashing of the panel’s April 2016 order as per which candidates of unrecognised but registered parties would be treated as independent candidates for allotment of symbols.
