T.V. GANGADHARAN . vs U.T. OF PONDICHERRY . — W.P.(C) No. 316/2005

On 29/07/2005, the Supreme Court heard the preliminary petition by T.V. Gangadharan challenging the delay in conducting local body elections (municipalities and panchayats) in Pondicherry, with the last elections held in 1968. The Court noted that Pondicherry indicated its inclination to proceed with elections and permitted the petitioner to withdraw the petition to file appropriate proceedings before the High Court of Madras instead. The writ petition was disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
