The Delhi High Court on Tuesday set aside the decision of the Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi calling for the re-election of six members of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) standing committee..Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav passed the order stating that Oberoi's decision to reject the ballot of one of the persons was bad in law, the decision was not based on any material, and her actions were without any power or authority.The court has now ordered Oberoi to declare the election results as per the voting held on February 24. The single-judge also said that the rejected ballot should be counted..The petition was filed by two BJP councillors, Kamaljeet Sehrawat and Shikha Roy, who had approached the High Court seeking directions to Shelly Oberoi to declare the result of the election for six members of MCD’s standing committee held on February 24. They also demanded quashing of the mayor's notice calling for re-election of the members of the standing committee..Oberoi, a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), had passed an order by which she ordered fresh elections for the MCD Standing Committee.In their plea, Sehrawat and Roy told the Court that the mayor's order was wrong because the elections have been completed successfully where the BJP and AAP both won three seats each..In an interim order passed on February 25, the Court had stayed Oberoi's directions.
