Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed an appeal against an interim order of the Punjab & Haryana High Court regarding alleged electoral malpractices in the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation elections. The Court noted the provisions of Section 38 of the Punjab Municipal Corporation Act, 1976, and Article 226 of the Constitution, emphasizing the need for free and fair elections. The Court held that the election process would be video recorded and that the police would ensure the integrity of the elections, ultimately disposing of the petition based on the assurances provided by the authorities.
