The Supreme Court, on Monday, intervened by halting the Bombay High Court`s directive to the Election Commission for an immediate by-election to fill the vacant Pune Lok Sabha seat, left vacant since the passing of MP Girish Bapat on March 29, 2023.
A bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, alongside justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra considered the Election Commission`s argument that conducting a by-poll for the Pune Lok Sabha seat, with the current parliamentary term concluding on June 16 this year, would be impractical at this juncture, the PTI report added.
