Those aware of the development said the state government is studying the high court order and its fallout. It is likely to work out ways to ensure that the implementation of the high court order does not cause any harm to anybody.

Most senior ministers and officers of the state government either remained unavailable or refused to comment on the issue.

Minister for parliamentary affairs Suresh Khanna, when asked to comment on the high court order, however, said, “We are studying the HC order and the state government will ensure that no injustice is caused to anybody.”

Others aware of the development confirmed that the chief minister has convened a meeting to discuss the issue on Sunday.

A division bench of the Allahabad high court comprising Justice AR Masoodi and Justice Brij Raj Singh has ordered that the state government should issue a fresh list while disposing of the 91 special appeals filed into the matter by candidates challenging the single-judge bench judgment of March 13, 2023.
