In Brief
This judgment disposed of multiple interlocutory applications arising from an election petition concerning Bar Council elections. The Supreme Court modified the election schedule for Kerala Bar Council, pre-poning the date from 25 March to 18 March 2018 due to a local festival falling on the original date. However, it rejected other applications: advocates from Maharashtra and Goa could not vote in Delhi instead of their respective states; Rajasthan's request to reschedule due to court holidays was denied; an applicant's name could not be added to Delhi's electoral roll post-deadline; and elections could not be directed for the non-existent Telangana Bar Council. The Court affirmed finalized election procedures and upheld procedural compliance requirements."
