August 26, 2014  19:36
The Delhi High Court today reserved its verdict on a plea filed by former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan against an Election Commission order finding him guilty of not giving correct account of money spent in his Assembly election in 2009.

"The judgement is reserved. Parties should file their written arguments and the case laws, relied upon by them, in the court by 4 pm tomorrow," Justice Suresh Kait said after the lawyers for Chavan and others concluded the arguments.

Senior advocate Rajiv Nayar, who appeared for Chavan, submitted the Election Commission did not follow the procedures in arriving at the findings in the case.

Even the publishers of the advertisements had stated on affidavit before EC that Chavan had no knowledge about it, he said, adding, "Despite all this, EC issued the show cause notice and also gave its findings."
