Supreme Court allows Sharad Pawar faction to use ‘man blowing turrah’ as poll symbol for Lok Sabha, state elections

The Supreme Court on March 19 allowed the Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar to use ‘man blowing turha’ as party symbol for Lok Sabha and Assembly elections.

The top court also directed the Election Commission of India (ECI) to reserve the ‘man blowing turha’ symbol for the Sharad Pawar faction and said it should not allot the symbol to any other party or candidate.

The Supreme Court further directed the Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP to issue a public notice saying NCP’s ‘clock’ symbol is sub-judice and its use is subject to adjudication.
