During the hearing today, Senior Advocate PS Patwalia, who represented BJP, argued that the ads were based on facts and that the party was not heard by the single-judge.
However, the Supreme Court after looking at the ads said it was not inclined to interfere with the High Court order.
As the Court was not convinced with Patwalia's arguments and made clear its intention to dismiss the plea, the senior counsel sought to withdraw the case.
While allowing the request, the Court said the BJP can contest the case before the single-judge of High Court.
At the end of hearing, Justice Vishwanathan, while addressing the BJP counsel, said, "Your rival is not an enemy!"
