A PIL has been moved in Delhi High Court seeking direction to the Centre and the Election Commission of India to ascertain the feasibility of conducting elections to the House of the People and Legislative Assemblies simultaneously in order to save money and manpower and control election paralysis.

The plea stated that there are many advantages to holding the Lok Sabha, Assembly, Panchayat and Municipal elections together. It would reduce the time and cost involved in conducting elections in terms of the use of paramilitary forces, government staff on election duty and the Election Commission staff organising booths, electronic voting machines and voter slips etc.
