The Delhi High Court on Monday has stayed the Election Commission's show cause notice against former Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan asking why he shouldn't be disqualified for hiding details of his 2009 poll expenses.
The HC has issued notice to BJP leaders Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Kirit Somaiya and an Independent candidate who had filed complaint with the EC against Chavan.
Earlier, the Election Commission had slapped a show cause notice on Chavan for failing to lodge his election expenses as per law in a paid-news case.
The EC, on the directions of the Supreme Court, had issued a notice to Chavan in May last to appear before it in connection with the case of alleged expenses made by him during the 2009 Maharashtra Assembly polls which were categorised as "paid news".
