Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel today allowed 20 AAP MLAs to attend the ongoing budget session after the high court set aside their disqualification in an office-of-profit case.
AAP MLAs Nitin Tyagi and Alka Lamba were among the first to enter the House.
As Tyagi entered the House, AAP legislators started chanting 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' and thumping desks.
Soon, other AAP legislators joined their colleagues in the House.
In a major relief to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the Delhi High Court today set aside the disqualification of its 20 MLAs in the office-of-profit case.
A bench of justices Sanjiv Khanna and Chander Shekhar said that the Election Commission's recommendation was bad in law and remanded their plea back to the poll panel which will hear it afresh.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also hailed the order, saying "it is a victory of truth".
