RAJU SHETTI . vs KHEMA HANMANTA KAMBLE . — SLP(C) No. 16130 - 16131/2004

Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 16130-16131/2004 The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petitions challenging the High Court's interim order that allowed elections to proceed while keeping the election results subject to the final outcome of writ petitions challenging the elections' validity. The Court held that the High Court itself could determine the legality of the elections and review its own interim order, finding no grounds for interference at that stage. While noting petitioners' concern about the 5-year election term potentially expiring before the High Court's final hearing, the Court expressed confidence that the High Court would grant early hearing given the matter's election-related nature.
