Delhi HC reserves Ansari verdict

New Delhi: The Delhi high court Wednesday reserved its verdict on theEC’s plea seeking cancellation of UP legislator Mukhtar Ansari’s custody parole granted by a trial court for campaigning in the Assembly polls. “Arguments heard. Judgement reserved,” Justice Mukta said, adding that “this is an issue that warrants concern. What he (Mr Ansari) is getting is actually more than bail”. Senior advocates Salman Khurshid and Sudhir Nandrajog, appearing for Mr Ansari, said, “Participation of candidates in... fair election is also a basic structure of the Constitution.”
