New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Monday transferred to a division bench the pleas of AamAadmi Party MLAs', seeking quashing of their disqualification from the Delhi Assembly for holding office of profit.

Single-judge bench of Justice VibhuBakhru fixed the matter before the Acting Chief Justice tomorrow, who may either set up new or refer it to an existing division bench.

The court's direction came after the advocate, on whose plea the Election Commission had recommended disqualification of the AAP legislators to which the President gave his nod, moved an application seeking transfer of the matter to a division bench.

The High Court also extended its 24th January order restraining the Election Commission from issuing any notification announcing bye elections to fill vacancies of the 20 Assembly seats whose MLAs have been disqualified.
