the counsel had submitted.<\/p>\n<p>They had contended that Ansari has been elected from Mau constituency for a record four times and he is willing to give an undertaking to the court that he will not violate its order.<\/p>\n<p>This was strongly opposed by the poll panel, which was represented by senior advocate Dayan Krishnan, who had said that the release of the accused would have a direct impact on conduct of free and fair election in Mau constituency.<\/p>\n<p>The EC had further submitted that the judgement of this court is going to have far reaching consequences on the poll panel&#8217;s power.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have material to oppose the parole,&#8221; Krishnan had argued.<\/p>\n<p>The trial court had on February 16 granted him custody parole.<\/p>\n<p>The accused, while seeking the relief, had told the trial court that he has been in judicial custody since December 2005 and was granted parole to contest polls earlier too.<\/p>\n<p>Ansari has over 40 criminal cases against him, including that of murder and kidnapping.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211;
