After quashing the February 11 order, a Lucknow bench of the High Court asked the government to issue a fresh order providing for the reservation on the basis of the 2015 population&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>A petition was filed in the Supreme Court on March 26 challenging the High Court&#8217;s order. The top court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livelaw.in\/news-updates\/supreme-court-up-panchayat-polls-uttar-pradesh-panchayat-raj-reservation-and-allotment-of-seats-rules-1994-171793\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rejected the plea<\/a> and refused to stay the panchayat polls. The viral claims are therefore false. The Supreme Court did not overturn the High Court&#8217;s order. It is to be noted that the claim has been doing the rounds since March 22 and the SC gave its order on March 26.<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner Dilip Kumar had appealed to the SC to consider reservation of seats for this election by considering 1995 as the base year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/news\/india\/up-govt-gets-relief-in-panchayat-elections-case-as-sc-asks-petitioner-to-go-to-allahabad-hc-3576629.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported News18<\/a> adding that Kumar said the government had issued a mandate to do the same in February.<\/p>\n<p>Live Law <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livelaw.in\/top-stories\/supreme-court-up-panchayat-polls-up-panchayat-raj-reservation-and-allotment-of-seats-rules-1994-171598\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stated<\/a> that the plea had challenged the UP government&#8217;s March 17 list issued in compliance with the High Court&#8217;s order as a consequence of which, the constituency Ishapur, district Jaunpur of one of the petitioners which was earmarked as unreserved, was reserved for the OBC category.<\/p>\n<p>A visual comparison of the viral graphic plate with a genuine Aaj Tak graphic plate aired during a broadcast makes it evident that the former is fake.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-89354 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/04\/2021-03-27-14_42_58-Crello-\u2014-Free-Graphic-Design-Software.-Simple-Online-Photo-Editor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/04\/2021-03-27-14_42_58-Crello-\u2014-Free-Graphic-Design-Software.-Simple-Online-Photo-Editor.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/04\/2021-03-27-14_42_58-Crello-\u2014-Free-Graphic-Design-Software.-Simple-Online-Photo-Editor-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2021\/04\/2021-03-27-14_42_58-Crello-\u2014-Free-Graphic-Design-Software.-Simple-Online-Photo-Editor-768x330.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, an Aaj Tak editor also informed Alt News that the graphic plates are morphed since the background has been altered and the template follows an old format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A purported Aaj Tak &#8216;Breaking News&#8217; graphic plate that reads \u2013 &#8220;UP gram panchayat election big judgment&#8230;Supreme Court orders that the old list will be issued&#8230; the new list is cancelled and the list will be issued as per 1995&#8221; \u2013 has been shared on social media.
