Rule 10(6) HP Municipal Election Rules | Rotational Ward Allotment Must Include Women in General Category : HP HC
The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that a ward rotated out of SC (Women) reservation under Rule 10(6) of the HP Municipal Election Rules must be allotted to the Women General Category, as the 'General Category' includes women. The court clarified that electing a woman from an open seat does not amount to re-reservation, ensuring compliance with rotational reservation mandates for local self-government.
