SC reserves judgment

New Delhi Oct. 1. The Supreme Court today reserved its verdict on a three-point Presidential Reference questioning the validity of the Election Commission's controversial order deferring polls in Gujarat and refused to pass any interim order on the petition challenging the position of Narendra Modi as caretaker Chief Minister.

A five-judge Constitution Bench reserved the verdict on the reference which wanted to know whether Article 324 of the Constitution entrusting the conduct of the elections to the Election Commission would prevail over Article 174 mandating two sittings of an Assembly within six months. — PTI
