A local court has issued a fresh notice to the shahi imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid to appear before it in a case of alleged violation of the model code in the 2007 assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh.

Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari had reportedly used a helicopter, without permission, while campaigning for United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate Sabir Ali from the Khatoli constituency in the elections.

The chief judicial magistrate Sunil Kumar Arya has fixed April 7 for the imam to appear in the court and directed him to appear before it for the next hearing.

On the election commissions' directive, a case has already been registered against Bukhari, Ali and a member of Jama Masjid advisory committee Inam Qureshi.
