The Election Commission of India (ECI) tells the Telangana High Court that it will not issue a notification for the Khairatabad by-election until a pending poll petition is adjudicated. According to both outlets, the ECI communicates this position during proceedings related to the delayed bypoll.
The matter is framed around a court process, with the ECI asserting that the by-election announcement should remain pending while the legal challenge to the election is under consideration. The outlets’ reporting aligns on the core timeline and the reason for delay: the status of the petition and its resolution by the court.
While the two reports use similar wording, their titles emphasize the same outcome—that no bypoll notification is issued until the plea is resolved. Neither outlet indicates a specific date by which the petition will be decided, focusing instead on the principle that election notification depends on the court’s adjudication.
