The Uttarakhand High Court has stayed the state’s Panchayati Raj elections, citing ambiguity in the government’s reservation policy. The interim order came just a day after the State Election Commission announced polling across 12 districts on July 10. The court stated the government had failed to clarify its stance on seat reservations in panchayat bodies, prompting the halt. Nomination filings were set to begin June 25. With the schedule notified, the Model Code of Conduct had already come into effect. The stay disrupts the entire election timeline and demands urgent policy clarity from the state government before polls can proceed.
