Election Commission will continue hearing a plea against 21 Aam Aadmi Party MLAs for allegedly holding office of profit, despite the Delhi High Court setting aside their appointment as parliamentary secretaries. The office of profit petition was filed against 21 MLAs. Later, proceedings were dropped against Jarnail Singh after he resigned as the Rajouri Garden MLA to contest Assembly polls in Punjab.<br/>The EC order stated that the commission was of the considered opinion that the AAP MLAs did hold de facto the office of parliamentary secretaries from March 2015 to September 2016. The petitioner maintained that the court order should have no bearing on the case being heard by the EC as the MLAs were enjoying the fruits of that office till their appointment was set aside.<br/>
