Allahabad High Court Raises Concern Over Delay in Uttar Pradesh Panchayat Elections
The Allahabad High Court has expressed concern over the delay in conducting panchayat elections in Uttar Pradesh, emphasizing that the state government should start preparations at least two years before the expiry of the local bodies' tenure. The court noted that although the election process began in May 2025, polls were not held before the constitutional deadline of May 26, 2026. It is reviewing records to determine if the delay was due to uncontrollable circumstances or administrative failure, underscoring the constitutional mandate for timely elections under Article 243-E.
