The Andhra Pradesh high court on Monday suspended the schedule announced by state election commissioner Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar for the conduct of the gram panchayat elections in the state in February.
Justice M Ganga Rao, who took up a lunch motion petition filed by the Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy government challenging the election schedule announced by the SEC on Friday evening, observed that the commission had not taken an objective decision in announcing the schedule and did not take into consideration the objections of the government.
The SEC decision was in violation of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India, Justice Rao observed.
The judge expressed the view that the election process for gram panchayats would hamper the vaccination programme. The SEC has not objectively considered the view of the government and had approached the subject matter in its own domain, he said.
In the interests of public health, the impugned orders are suspended, Justice Rao ordered.
