The Delhi High Court has ordered the Election Commission of India to allot a common symbol to the Akhil Bharatiya Jan Sangh for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. The move comes after the party’s earlier application was rejected by the ECI.
The Delhi High Court rejected the Janta Party’s plea challenging the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) order regarding its election symbol. The court ruled that the party’s objections lacked merit. The decision upholds the ECI’s authority over symbol allocation and registration. This ruling has implications for the party’s future participation in elections.
