Kochi: The Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Thursday rejected the state government's appeal against the single judge's order quashing the government notifications creating new panchayats.

The Election Commission informed the HC that the local body polls would be delayed if the govt goes ahead with the formation of new panchayats.

The Election Commission had submitted an affidavit in Kerala High Court dismissing the claims made by the state government regarding the division of panchayats. The EC informed the court that the polls would be delayed by six months once the constitution of new panchayats is approved.

The court also asked the government to render all possible help for the smooth conduct of civic body polls. Now it is up to the Election Commission to decide on the polls.

The largest constituent of the UDF, the Muslim League, had sought division of panchayats.
