The Delhi High Court on Wednesday sought the Election Commission's response on the plea of sidelined AIADMK leader T.T.V. Dinakaran to use the "pressure cooker" symbol in the upcoming civic polls in Tamil Nadu.
Justice Rekha Palli asked the poll panel to file its response and listed the matter for February 1.
Dinakaran, in his plea, sought the court's permission to use the symbol of "pressure cooker" for the purpose of local bodies elections likely to be held in April 2018 or any other elections, during the pendency of the writ petitions regarding two leaves symbol.
He has challenged the Election Commission order which has awarded two leaves symbol to the faction led by Chief Minister O. Palaniswami and Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam.
In December 2017, Dinakaran won Radhakrishnan Nagar (R.K.Nagar) bypoll as an independent candidate.
