The petition, filed by Harsul Sharma of Shiv Colony, Dehradun, said that junior engineers from all three Uttarakhand Power Corporation entities had been on strike since June 5, 2025, over pending demands.
Sharma argued that the unresolved dispute had caused significant public hardship amid severe heatwave conditions. "The resulting power shortages have adversely impacted hospitals, schools, domestic appliances, tube wells and other essential services. Moreover, with the ongoing Char Dham Yatra, the absence of street lighting presents serious safety concerns," he said.
The petition urged the court to direct the state govt to resolve the matter swiftly to alleviate the inconvenience faced by the public.

HC disposes PIL seeking postponement of panchayat polls till Aug
Dehradun: Uttarakhand high court on Wednesday disposed of a petition seeking to postpone the upcoming panchayat elections until after Aug, over concerns that the poll schedule overlaps with the ongoing kanwar and Char Dham yatras. A bench of Chief Justice G Narendar and Justice Alok Mahra accepted affidavits submitted by the state govt, DGP Deepam Seth, and panchayati raj secretary Chandresh Yadav, assuring that the yatras were proceeding smoothly and would not disrupt the election process. The public interest litigation (PIL) was filed by Dehradun resident Dr Baijnath, who argued that key administrative resources such as police and SDRF teams were already deployed for flood relief, which could hamper election management. Polling is scheduled in two phases, on July 24 and 28, across 12 districts excluding Haridwar, while the kanwar yatra will continue until July 23. In his affidavit, DGP Seth said adequate security arrangements were in place for both the yatras and the elections with 30% of the police force deployed for the kanwar yatra, 10% for the Char Dham pilgrimage, and another 10% for poll duties. Additional personnel will be deployed to manage potential disruptions. Seth also informed the court that strict action was being taken against "unruly" kanwariyas. He said two pilgrims from Haryana were arrested after a video was widely circulated showing kanwariyas vandalising a shop near Har Ki Pauri on Sunday. The state election commission also reaffirmed its preparedness to hold the polls. It said that the first batch of kanwariyas from Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi would complete their pilgrimage before the first date of polling. Districts affected by the yatra will vote in the second phase, it added.

HC tells SEC to allot symbol to pradhan candidate disqualified over toilet location
Dehradun: Uttarakhand high court has directed the State Election Commission (SEC) to allot an election symbol and include the name of a gram pradhan candidate on the ballot after her nomination was wrongly rejected over a false complaint about the absence of a toilet at her home. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The division bench of Chief Justice G Narendar and Justice Alok Mahra found the rejection arbitrary and possibly aimed at helping another candidate. Kusum Kothiyal, who had filed her nomination for the pradhan post in Udvakhanda village in Tehri Garhwal district, challenged the returning officer's decision, which was based on a complaint that she had no toilet at home. The returning officer rejected her nomination without verifying the facts or allowing her a chance to respond. The court said, "It is not a mere case of improper rejection of nomination but a classic case of abuse of power. There being no ambiguity, the RO ought not to have indulged in an interpretational exercise and ought to have left it to the tribunal… If it was a case of there being no toilet at all, it was open for the RO to take a call, but where the matter required interpretation of the provisions, we are of the opinion that the RO has exceeded the brief. " The judges added that the right to contest elections is a statutory right and cannot be denied arbitrarily, especially when the grounds appear prima facie illegal. The issue began after a complaint was filed against Kothiyal, claiming she did not meet the eligibility requirement of having a toilet at her residence. However, a local inquiry by the village panchayat development officer confirmed that a toilet did exist, around 150 metres from her house. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The court reviewed photographs and said the RO's interpretation of the Uttarakhand Panchayati Raj Act, 2016, was flawed. Kothiyal said she was neither given a copy of the complaint nor a chance to present her side before the inquiry started. SEC's counsel had argued the toilet should be within the dwelling, but the court said rural toilets are often located away from the main house for hygiene. It also found no evidence suggesting the toilet was not constructed or owned by her. The court ordered SEC to ensure Kothiyal is included in the upcoming polls and directed state election commissioner to submit a report on the matter by Aug 11.

U'khand HC upholds ban on dual voter candidates in panchayat polls
Dehradun: Uttarakhand high court on Monday refused to lift its stay on individuals whose names appear in both rural and urban electoral rolls from contesting or voting in this month's three-tier . Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A division bench of Chief Justice G Narendar and Justice Alok Mahra held that such nominations violated the Uttarakhand Panchayati Raj Act and undermined the legality of the electoral process. The court clarified that its July 11 order was not a stay on the election process itself but applied specifically to a circular issued by the State Election Commission on July 6, directing district election officials not to disqualify candidates whose names appeared in both urban and rural voter lists. The bench ruled that the circular contradicted Section 9(6) of the Panchayati Raj Act, which prohibits any person enrolled in more than one electoral roll from contesting panchayat elections. This provision is meant to prevent misuse of dual residencies and preserve the integrity of the democratic process. Courts have previously directed the commission to strictly enforce these disqualification clauses. The State Election Commission, in its application filed on Sunday, argued that the court's order had caused confusion and disrupted the electoral process, especially after considerable resources had already been mobilised. It added that continuing the stay would create serious logistical obstacles in the conduct of elections. Petitioner Satendra Singh Barthwal, a resident of Rudraprayag, had moved court citing discrepancies in the electoral process. His counsel, Abhijay Negi, said the July 6 circular allowed ineligible candidates to bypass legal safeguards laid down in the Act by enabling them to contest despite being registered in both voter lists. Despite the high court's ruling, several such candidates were still in the fray, in violation of the law and the court order.
