(File) Madras High Court dismissed the single judge’s order to set aside notification for elections in TN. (File)The Madras High Court Tuesday admitted an appeal filed by State Election Commission (SEC) against the order of a single judge who set aside the notification for the local body elections in Tamil Nadu. It was also submitted that the Single Judge had failed to see that once election notification is published, the entire state machinery can be requisitioned by the Election Commission for election-related work. Also, at the best, it can only be an irregularity which will not justify stopping of election after the election notification had been issued.
