The election process would start from July 1.

The court was hearing a petition filed by former IMA President Dr KK Aggarwal seeking a direction to IMA for illegally deleting his name making him ineligible to contest the election.

"The action of the IMA is arbitrary, illegal, malafide, high-handed and unconstitutional...." the petitioner said.

Aggarwal, who has been associated with the IMA for more than a decade, also sought a direction declaring the existing electoral list as null and void.
