    Case Summary: CWP No. 6998/2026 Sandip Kumar's nomination for a Scheduled Caste-reserved ward in Nagar Panchayat Amb elections was rejected because he resided in Punjab despite holding valid Himachali and SC certificates. The High Court dismissed the petition as withdrawn after the petitioner's counsel sought permission to pursue an election petition under Section 296(1)(c) of the Himachal Pradesh Municipal Act, which provides the proper statutory remedy for challenging improper nomination rejections.
