The Delhi High Court on Friday declined to entertain a plea seeking direction to the Election Commission to bar Jammu and Kashmir politicians Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti from participating in the Lok Sabha election.
A Bench of Justices S. Ravindra Bhat and Prateek Jalan asked the petitioner to move the appropriate forum with his grievance, after which the petition was withdrawn.
The plea filed by advocate Sanjjiiv Kkumaar claimed that the recent statements made by three Jammu and Kashmir politicians in public and social media were allegedly seditious.
