Rashtra Sanskar Andolan Chief Coordinator and Supreme Court lawyer Hasnat Quaiyum filed a writ petition with the High Court on Sunday, challenging the Election Commission’s (EC) public notice regarding new political party registration.
The petition names the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC), the Secretary of the Election Commission Secretariat, and the Electoral Reform Commission as respondents.
“We filed the writ yesterday, challenging various issues, including the exclusion of hilly communities from forming political parties,” said Hasnat Quaiyum.
Earlier, on March 10, the EC issued a public notice inviting applications for new political party registration, with a submission deadline of April 20.
