    Case Summary: WP 15832/2026 The High Court of Karnataka heard a petition by Smt Sandya U Prabhu challenging Bar Council elections. The court established a formal grievance redressal hierarchy for election complaints: complaints must first go to the High-Powered Election Committee, then to the High-Powered Election Supervisory Committee, and finally to the Central Election Tribunal post-results or Supreme Court during elections. The court rejected the petitioner's request to stay election counting/declaration, noting the Supreme Court has held that civil courts cannot interfere in such matters. The case was adjourned to 15.06.2026 for parties to file complaint records and orders. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
