The petition has been moved just days after a controversy arose in relation to the elections held for the post of mayor in neighbouring city Chandigarh.
The Supreme Court on Monday (Feb 5) gave an earful to the returning officer over his conduct during the recent mayoral polls in the northern Indian union territory of Chandigarh. The apex court said what happened during the election was a "mockery of democracy".
The plea stated that the positions for the posts of Senior Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Panchkula, Haryana have been vacant for over three years since December 30, 2020.
