New Delhi: Delhi High Court has rejected a plea seeking to de-register the Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM by the Election Commission of India.

Justice Prateek Jalan dismissed the plea observing it was without any merit.

The petitioner, Tirupati Narasimha Murari, assailed the registration of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Musalimeen (AIMIM) on the ground that as a political party, its constitution intended to further the cause of only one religious community, i.e., Muslims.
