EC's freeze on Shiv Sena name, symbol
The Delhi high court on Thursday reserved order on plea filed by Former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray challenging the single bench order, refusing to interfere with the Election Commission order freezing the symbol (Bow and Arrow) and the name ‘Shiv Sena’.
The petition moved by Uddhav also sought direction to quash the order passed by the Election Commission on October 8, freezing the election symbol of the Shiv Sena.
Uddhav Thackeray in its petition claimed that the single judge failed to appreciate that in passing the order dated October 8, the Election Commission of India (ECI) proceeded on the assumption of the existence of two rival groups within the Shiv Sena, the plea said
The single judge failed to appreciate that there is no dispute as to the leadership of the Shiv Sena and therefore, the EC has no jurisdiction to entertain the para 15 Petition, added the petition.
The Uddhav Thackrey and Eknath Shinde factions have both laid claim to the party name of Shiv Sena and its symbol before Election commision.
Last month single bench of the Delhi high court while dismissing the plea, directed the EC to decide the dispute as expeditiously as possible.
