New Delhi: The Supreme
Court Friday declined to interfere in the conduct of assembly
elections in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, dismissing a petition
seeking rescheduling of elections in the two states.
An apex court bench headed by Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia said it
was not for the court to decide on the election schedule.
Petitioner C.P. Vyas had sought a rescheduling of the balloting on
grounds that it clashed with the Central Board of Secondary
Education (CBSE) examination as well as municipal elections in
Uttar Pradesh besides severe cold in Uttarakhand.
Uttar Pradesh will have staggered voting in February. Uttarakhand
will see election on Jan 30.
