NCP (SP) member Prashant Jagtap’s EVM re-check on hold, district office seeks EC nod due to pending HC plea

The district election office has sought guidance regarding Prashant Jagtap’s participation in the EVM re-verification process due to his pending election petition in the Bombay High Court. While Sachin Dhodke’s application is being processed, Jagtap’s participation hinges on a directive from the chief electoral office, as ECI norms generally disqualify candidates with pending petitions.
