A bench of Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice JB Pardiwala is hearing the plea.

Petitioner seeks issuance of notice.

Court: Why did you get this delinked? All this will be relevant for those cases also

AshwiniUpadhyay : This is different because ECI has also recommended the same thing

Court: The further directions that you are seeking can be heard with the connected matters, why was this delinked

AshwiniUpadhyay : Today I am seeking that Court issues notice to ECI

Court: this is not specific to ECI, also you have not made it a party, how can we issue notice.

Court: During election or otherwise, the regime should be same for hate speech..
