A division bench of the High Court led by Chief Justice Arup Kumar Goswami and comprising Justice C. Praveen Kumar cleared the way for MPTC and ZPTC elections scheduled for April 8, by overturning Justice U. Durga Prasad Rao's decision to impose a stay on the State Election Commission (SEC)'s notification dated April 1. However, the court ordered that the results be kept on hold until further orders. Appearing for the government, Advocate-General S. Sriram said the State has been facing difficulties due to the continued MCC since January as it could neither present the annual budget nor undertake COVID vaccination in a full-fledged manner.More Related News
