The State Election is seeking a clarification in view of the fact that the Supreme Court of India has stayed orders passed by the Bombay High Court at Goa which in turn had stayed the notification reserving certain wards in panchayats.
It had earlier sought that the clarification of the High Court, and was allowed to go ahead with the elections according to schedule. This was before the Supreme Court stayed the High Court’s orders.
The SEC has opined that in view of the topsy turvy nomination process with the reservations changing as the court’s passed orders, the nomination process would stand vitiated and requiring a fresh nomination process.
