The plea was filed by Shambhu Dayal Sharma, a Municipal Corporation of Delhi councillor from Budh Vihar ward.

Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw after hearing the arguments on behalf of both sides said: “The order is reserved.”

Sharma sought a direction to disqualify 49-year-old Abbi as mayor, contending that she had applied for the post April 13 without taking leave from the Delhi University, where she was employed as a law teacher.
