Delhi HC issues notice to AAP's Tomar for 'misrepresenting' as advocate

New Delhi, Mar. 25 (ANI); The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued a notice to Jitender Singh Tomar, the Law Minister in Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government, after the latter allegedly misrepresented himself as an advocate.

The court issued the notice to Tomar on a plea filed by BJP leader Nand Kishore Garg, demanding the cancellation of the AAP leader's ticket. Tomar had defeated Garg in the recently held Delhi Assembly elections from the Tri Nagar constituency.
The next hearing in this case will take place on May 18.
Earlier, the Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University in Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, claimed that the undergraduate degree and other papers submitted by Tomar at the time of his admission to the law course were 'fake' and that while filing his nomination papers, he had falsely declared on affidavit that he was a practicing advocate.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India has been directed to preserve all documents related to the Tri Nagar constituency. (ANI)
