Prayagraj, Oct 14 The Allahabad High Court on Wednesday directed the State Election Commission to hold polls to Panchayati Raj institutions in Uttar Pradesh within three months.
The order was passed by a bench comprising Justices Ajit Kumar and Garima Prashad.
The petitioner had moved court seeking direction to the State Election Commission to place on record a detailed time bound schedule for completion of the entire panchayat election process well before the expiry of district panchayat tenure.
“It is expected from respondent No.2 (State Election Commission) that the entire schedule of holding the election should be finalised and brought on record before the next date of listing,” the court observed, while allowing the plea by Dashrath Yadav.
