    Summary The High Court of Himachal Pradesh quashed delimitation notifications issued by the State for Gram Panchayats because they violated mandatory procedural requirements under the Panchayati Raj Act and Election Rules. The court found that the State arbitrarily reduced the mandatory 7-day objection period to 3 days and failed to provide the required 10-day appeal period, rendering the entire delimitation process illegal. The State was directed to complete the roster determination by April 7, 2026, and conduct elections by May 31, 2026, as mandated by the Supreme Court.
