SC refuses to stay ongoing polling for Punjab panchayat elections



“This is an unusual democracy also where we value the elections. There are remedies in the form of the election petition. We will not stay,” the CJI said.The bench said, “how can we stay the elections when the polling has begun. if tomorrow someone will want to stay the parliamentary elections or the assembly elections. Can we do that. We will list (the petition) but no interim stay,” the CJI said.The bench said probably the high court realised the gravity of the stay granted earlier and vacated the stay order.The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently dismissed around 1,000 petitions seeking the cancellation of panchayat elections on grounds of alleged irregularities in the nomination process.The high court had ordered videography of the elections and made clear that no party symbol will be used.Opposition parties have accused the ruling Aam Aadmi Party government of arbitrarily cancelling the nominations of candidates associated with them.With a total of 13,937 gram panchayats in the state, approximately 13.3 million voters are expected to participate in the elections.
