The move comes after the Allahabad High Court on Monday announced that the base year for applying reservation on seats by rotation will be 2015 and Uttar Pradesh must follow the seat reservation rules accordingly.

The verdict came after a person filed a plea challenging the state government’s February 11 order that had fixed 1995 as the base year for rotating the reserved seats in village, blocks and district local bodies.

After the court’s order, the state government released the reservation policy for the panchayat polls. The reservation by rotation will be implemented in the panchayat elections, it said.

The five-year term of panchayats ended on December 25 last year and so the state government had asked the district administration to take over the panchayat administration.
