The Rajasthan High Court has stayed elections of members of Rajasthan Chess Association, Jaipur till September 23.
The development comes in a petition moved by the Association's incumbent Secretary— Ashok Kumar Bhargava.
It is claimed that an inquiry is pending against the Association's President under Section 23 of the Rajasthan Cooperative Societies Act 2001 and as such, there are 'prohibitory orders' so far as conduct of elections is concerned.
However, despite such order, publication was made in the newspaper for the conduct of the election in Bikaner, Bhargava claims. He also filed a representation, however, the same was not considered and the process of election was progressing.
A bench of Justice Sameer Jain thus issued notice to the President and meanwhile stayed the elections for which polling was supposed to take place on September 6.
The matter has been listed on September 23.
