The Bombay High Court on Saturday stayed until further orders the Maharashtra government’s decision to postpone Mumbai University (MU) senate elections. Following the High Court’s stay order, the polls will now be held on September 24.

A division bench passed the order in a special hearing on a plea by three Yuva Sena (UBT) candidates Milind Satam, Shashikant Zore and Pradeep Sawant. The petitioners submitted that despite sufficient time available for MU to take steps to resolve concerns over the voters’ list, the same was not taken and elections were sought to be delayed from the scheduled date of September 22.
