The Delhi state election commission has sought dismissal of a plea for removal of candidates’ party symbols from electronic voting machines (EVM) in upcoming civic polls in New Delhi. "(Any order on) the petition would directly affect all the national and state political parties. Since all the national and state political parties have not been impleaded in the present petition, it is liable to be dismissed on this ground alone," the poll panel told a bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal.
