The Election Commission has told the Delhi High Court that AAP MLAs plea seeking quashing of their disqualification from the Delhi Assembly for holding office of profit was 'not maintainable' and is liable to be 'dismissed'. A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Chander Shekhar was further told that the AAP MLAs have challenged the Election Commissions recommendation, which is non-existent once President Ram Nath Kovind has taken a decision on it. The poll panel said that the MLAs have not challenged the Presidents January 20 decision, by which its recommendation was accepted.
