Punjab Panchayat Election 2024 Latest News Today: In a significant development, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has placed a stay on the bidding process for Sarpanch posts in Punjab, citing it as unconstitutional. The court's decision comes in response to a public interest litigation (PIL) challenging the auction-style bidding system for the election of village Sarpanchs.

The High Court has deemed the practice of bidding for Sarpanch positions as contrary to the principles of democracy and governance. A formal hearing on the matter has been scheduled for Monday, where further arguments will be presented to determine the future course of action regarding the matter.
