Delhi HC to hear Sharad Yadav’s plea against disqualification

The Delhi High Court agreed to hear on Wednesday former JD(U) president Sharad Yadav’s plea seeking immediate setting aside of his disqualification from the Rajya Sabha.

The matter for urgent hearing was mentioned before a Bench of Acting Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice C. Hari Shankar on the ground that the Winter session of Parliament is about to begin on Friday and he will not be able to participate in it



if the order is not suspended.

Advocate Nizam Pasha, appearing for Mr. Yadav, submitted that he wants urgent listing of the matter so that an interim stay can be passed.

The counsel for the leader of JD(U) in the House, Ram Chandra Prasad Singh, opposed urgent listing of the matter.

The court, however, listed the matter for hearing on December 13 itself.
