Election Petition Maintainable Against Nomination Rejection for Violating Natural Justice | UP Panchayat Elections : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that rejection of a panchayat nomination without giving the candidate an opportunity to cure technical defects violates the principle of natural justice, making such rejections challengeable through election petitions. This sets a critical precedent for electoral fairness in local body elections across Uttar Pradesh, empowering candidates to contest arbitrary disqualifications.
