The High Court gave a green signal for holding elections in Eluru Municipal corporation, West Godavari district. The division bench of the high court today suspended the orders passed by the single bench suspending the elections in Eluru. This paved the way for the polls in Eluru Corporation tomorrow.
Several petitions were filed before the postponement of last year’s municipal elections alleging irregularities in the redistricting of the Eluru Corporation and the amendment of the voters’ list.
However, after listening to the arguments the court gave a green signal for the conduct of elections in Eluru. But, it has imposed restrictions on the counting of votes and the announcement of results. The High Court ordered that the results should not be declared until further orders.
