The Supreme Court today dismissed as withdrawn a plea seeking imposition of a cooling off period on public servants to prevent them from contesting elections on political party tickets immediately.
The plea had sought directions to the EC and the Centre to implement the 2012 recommendations of the poll panel and the July 2004 report of the Committee on Civil Service Reforms to prevent government servants from contesting elections to the legislature, parliament or state assembly on a political party ticket, immediately after retirement or resignation from service, by imposing a cooling-off period.
