The notification signed by Sushil Kumar, Uttarakhand State Election Commissioner, comes after the Nainital High Court on Friday permitted the continuation of the panchayat election process, lifting its earlier stay order issued on June 23.
The Uttarakhand High Court lifted its stay on three-tier panchayat elections, allowing the process to proceed after reviewing the state's reservation roster. The decision follows a halt on June 23, with the State Election Commission now set to announce a revised schedule.
The Nainital High Court stayed Uttarakhand's Panchayat elections, scheduled in two phases, after challenges to reservation policies. The court, led by the Chief Justice, reviewed the state government's response before issuing the stay order.
