The Delhi high court has asked the Election Commission not to announce byelections to the seats held by 20 Aam Aadmi Party MLAs disqualified from the Delhi assembly for holding offices of profit, till its next hearing on Monday.

The HC has also sought response of the EC, Centre in the case.

The plea by the MLAs has sought stay and quashing of the government's notification stating the President had held that the 20 MLAs stand disqualified under the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act.

The notification came two days after the EC wrote to the President recommending the disqualification of 20 Aam Aadmi Party MLAs for holding office of profit while serving as parliamentary secretaries between March 13, 2015 and September 8, 2016.
