New Delhi, June 15: In a significant relief to Himachal Pradesh Government, the Supreme Court on Monday stayed an interim order of the Himachal Pradesh High Court that had barred Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) from voting in elections for mayors, deputy mayors, chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of urban local bodies. With the apex court's intervention, MLAs will now be permitted to participate and vote in the elections of office-bearers in Municipal Corporations, Municipal Councils and Nagar Panchayats across the state.
