The Madhya Pradesh High Court declined to quash the provisional voter list for the High Court Bar Association, keeping the list active amid the ongoing 'One Bar One Vote' dispute.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court, in a recent ruling, refused to quash the provisional voter list of the High Court Bar Association, thereby maintaining the list’s validity.
The decision comes amid the long‑standing 'One Bar One Vote' dispute, where the bar association has contested the inclusion of certain members in its electoral roll.
A petition filed by opposition lawyers seeking removal of the list was dismissed, with the court citing insufficient grounds to invalidate the provisional roll.
The ruling is expected to keep the current voting framework in place for the upcoming bar elections, pending any further legal challenges.
Lawyers and bar officials will now continue to prepare for the elections under the existing voter list framework.
