New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday allowed Aam Aadmi Party's mayoral candidate Shelly Oberoi to withdraw her plea demanding the mayor election be conducted in a time-bound manner. Oberoi withdrew her plea after a bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said that the MCD Mayor election is slated to be held on 6 February.
The Delhi Mayor election was stalled on 24 January as the House was adjourned indefinitely by the LG-appointed presiding officer following a ruckus by some councillors.
The AAP has been accusing the BJP of running away from holding the election for the post of Mayor.
The Leader of the House Mukesh Goel and mayor candidate Shelly Oberoi approached the top court to allow the mayoral elections to be conducted in a time-bound manner. (with ANI inputs)
