The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Monday an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) councillor's plea challenging a Punjab and Haryana High Court order that refused to grant interim relief to the party seeking fresh mayoral polls in Chandigarh.
A Bench of Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and Justices J.B. Pardiwala and Manoj Misra is likely to hear the matter. The case was mentioned by senior advocate Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for councillor Kuldeep Kumar, a candidate for the Mayor's post on Friday seeking urgent hearing.
The BJP swept the Chandigarh mayoral polls, retaining all three posts. The victory came as a setback to the Congress-AAP alliance that alleged tampering with ballot papers by the Presiding Officer and sought fresh polls under the supervision of a retired judge of the court.
