Following the Election Commission's recommendation for disqualification of 20 AAP lawmakers this morning, Delhi High Court today heard the pleas by seven lawmakers mentioned before the high court bench for urgent hearing, listed for today itself. 

The petition before the Election Commission was earlier filed by one Prashant Patel against 21 lawmakers, who were appointed as parliamentary secretaries by the AAP government in Delhi. Subsequently, the proceedings were dropped against Jarnail Singh after he resigned as the Rajouri Garden MLA to contest the Punjab Assembly polls.
