The application seeks a direction to the Union Government to provide them with all privileges as MPs, until their expulsion issue was resolved by the apex court.

A Division Bench of Justice Vijender Jain and Justice Rekha Sharma, while refusing to entertain the plea at this stage, however, gave an assurance that it would examine the plea after February 16 if there was no order from the Supreme Court to transfer the petitions relating to the MPs issue to itself.
