    Summary The Gujarat High Court allowed Varsha Mukeshbhai Katara's writ petition, directing her inclusion in the electoral roll of Ward No. 4, Sabarmati for Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation elections. The court held that since the petitioner's name was added to the Legislative Assembly electoral roll on 01.04.2026 (the basis for municipal rolls), she became automatically entitled to vote in municipal elections, rejecting the Election Commission's argument that inclusion occurred after the preliminary list publication. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
