New Delhi: The Supreme Court today asked the Election Commission to decide the representation of an all-woman political party seeking the symbol of ‘kamadhenu’ (holy cow) for it. A bench of justices SS Nijjar and AK Sikri asked the Commission to decide the plea of All India Mahila Democratic Front within a week after the representation is made to it.

The court after hearing the submission asked the Commission to decide on the representation. PTI
