Petition on poll symbol dismissed

By Our Legal Correspondent

HYDERABAD, MARCH 31. A division bench of the A.P. High Court comprising the Chief Justice, Devinder Gupta, and the Judge, G. Rohini, on Wednesday dismissed a writ petition filed by the BC United Front seeking allotment of election symbol `chair' for its candidates in the coming elections in the State.

The writ petitioner claimed that it was a registered political party and could seek an exclusive symbol. The petitioner said that the chair symbol was not kept free as it was allotted to local party in Uttaranchal. It was contended that this was not proper and such reservation to a party in Uttaranchal could not be a ground to deny the symbol here. The Bench took note of the fact that the symbol was no more in the list of free symbols and the petitioner could not have claim for it and dismissed the writ petition.
