Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the election dispute concerning the Chairman of the Bar Council of Uttarakhand, emphasizing the necessity of an election tribunal as per the Bar Council of Uttarakhand Election Rules, 2009. The Court held that the absence of such a tribunal warranted judicial intervention, allowing the High Court to examine disputed ballot papers. The Court quashed the Division Bench's stay order and directed the High Court to resolve the matter expeditiously, thereby ensuring adherence to the stipulated election process under the 2009 Rules.
