CHANDIGARH: Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday dismissed a petition filed by Punjab Congress chief Partap Singh Bajwa challenging the ward-bandi of panchayats in the state. This has paved the way for holding early panchayat elections. The court also vacated the stay on poll notification.
While the panchayat elections can now be held in accordance with the existing ward-bandi, the Court issued strict guidelines for ward-bandi in future for next elections.
