Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the interim order of the Delhi High Court allowing the group led by the petitioner to use the name and symbol 'Pressure Cooker' for political activities during the pendency of the writ petition challenging the Election Commission of India's decision. The Court emphasized the need for the Election Commission to provide a hearing before allotting symbols, thereby reinforcing the principles of natural justice. The judgment clarified that the interim arrangement does not prejudice the rights of the parties in the main petition.
