New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday refused an urgent hearing on a plea seeking the postponement of Union Budget for 2017-18 till April.
The public suit by advocate ML Sharma came in the wake of a face-off between the government and the Opposition over the dates for presentation of Union Budget, just ahead of the commencement of assembly elections in five states between February 4 and March 8.
Presenting the budget would violate the Model Code of Conduct, which has come into force with the announcement of the election schedule, the petitioner had contended.
A bench of Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, Justice NV Ramana and Justice DY Chandrachud said that they would decide the issue when it comes in its normal course.
