The Supreme Court has reserved its verdict on a plea by the National Conference challenging the denial of the 'plough' symbol to its candidates for the upcoming Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) polls. The court heard arguments from lawyers representing the union territory administration and political parties and will announce its judgement on September 6. The Additional Solicitor General argued that the election symbol order of 1968 does not apply to local body elections and reserved symbols are only allocated to recognised national political parties. The elections are scheduled for September 10.
