Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court disposed of W.P. (C) No. 606 of 1993 in accordance with the Terms of Settlement agreed upon by the Election Commission of India and the Union of India, with certain states accepting the terms while others expressed reservations. The Court allowed the writ petition to be withdrawn against states other than the specified respondents, leaving the issues open for future proceedings. Additionally, several special leave petitions and transfer petitions were dismissed as infructuous or withdrawn due to the settlement of the original issue.
