New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted more time to Centre and Opposition Political Parties to file their responses on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) moved for direction to prohibit the use of the acronym INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) by opposition political alliances.
The bench of Justice Satish Chander Sharma and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela gave the respondents two weeks to file their replies and adjourned the matter for November 22, 2023.
Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who appeared for most of the opposition political parties in the matter, opposed the petition on maintainability grounds.
Recently, the Election Commission of India (ECI) in its reply to the Delhi High Court, said that it can't regulate political alliances while responding to a plea against the use of the INDIA acronym for the alliance of opposition parties. (with ANI inputs)
