In a big relief to Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party, the Delhi High Court on Friday set aside the Election Commission ruling disqualifying 20 ruling party MLAs for holding offices-of-profit as parliamentary secretaries.The court on Friday said that the Centre’s notification disqualifying the AAP MLAs was bad in law and remanded their plea back to the Election Commission which will hear it afresh. It said there was violation of natural justice and no oral hearing was given to the MLAs before disqualifying them as legislators of the Delhi Assembly. The MLA's were also not formally informed about then Election Commissioner OP Rawat joining the hearings after recusing himself from the case last year.While the EC has been directed to hear the cases again, this is only a temporary relief as the HC has only sent the case back to the EC over the way the hearings were carried out.However, this also gives the party time to respond to the allegations as well as buy time to strengthen its political position in the capital and keep its flock together, as the BJP and the Congress are still in the process of galvanising their ranks and cadresWith a budget that focuses on air pollution, an issue that has cropped up persistently in the form of smog and bad air quality, the party is expected to get its act in the meantime.In January, the President on recommendation of Election Commission had disqualified 20 MLAs of Aam Aadmi Party for holding office of profit.The Election Commission had said the MLAs, by occupying the post of parliamentary secretaries between March 13, 2015 and September 8, 2016, held office of profit, and were liable to be disqualified as legislators."Calling it a victory of people, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal said: "MLAs were wrongly disqualified and Delhi High Court has brought justice to the people of Delhi."AAP spokesperson Saurabh Bhardwaj said, “Now that disqualification has been struck down, we want that the MLAs come and join assembly proceedings today itself.”AAP has a massive majority in the 70-member Delhi assembly with 65 seats.Here's the list of 20 AAP MLAs who were disqualified by the Election Commission:-
