Gujarat HC Directs SEC to Proceed with Taluka Panchayat Bye Election - 19.07.2021

Gujarat High Court has observed that an election candidate dying after the polls but before declaration of result will not be able to fill the seat and thus, the only remedy in such a situation would be to have a bye-election within the stipulated time period. The Court has directed the State Election Commission to proceed with the bye election while dealing with a plea seeking setting aside of a Taluka Panchayat election result, declaring a deceased woman as the winning candidate.
