Bombay High Court Orders Mumbai University Senate Elections Rescheduled to September 24

The court's decision comes after the Maharashtra government indefinitely postponed the elections amid allegations of voter roll irregularities.

The Bombay High Court has directed that the Mumbai University Senate elections will be held on September 24, following an urgent hearing.
The elections, originally scheduled for September 13, were delayed after the government called for an inquiry into alleged duplicate entries on the electoral rolls.
Protests erupted at Mumbai University, led by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), against the postponement of the elections.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut criticized the Maharashtra government, alleging the postponement was politically motivated due to fears of a Shiv Sena win.
A single-member committee, chaired by retired High Court Justice K.L. Wadane, has been appointed to investigate the voter roll irregularities and is expected to submit a report within a month.
