Allahabad HC orders UP Gram Panchayat polls within 3 months

The Allahabad High Court directed Uttar Pradesh to hold Gram Panchayat elections within three months of sitting representatives' tenure expiry. A Division Bench ruled outgoing Gram Pradhans will serve as administrators in the interim. The verdict came after petitions challenged the Yogi government's May 25 decision to appoint village heads as administrators.
