Row over EVM use in Bihar panchayat polls
When the state election commission approached Patna High Court on the issue, it had suggested the two constitutional bodies sort out the matter in a mutual manner
Bihar appears to be heading towards a constitutional crisis as elections to the three-tier panchayati raj system are likely to miss the deadline for completion because the Election Commission and the state poll panel are at loggerheads over the use of electronic voting machines (EVM) in the polls.
When the state election commission approached Patna High Court on the issue, it had suggested the two constitutional bodies sort out the matter in a mutual manner instead of contesting each other in front of the judiciary.
