Kerala High Court Seeks Status Report On Removal Of Unauthorised Boards, Banners & Election Material

The Kerala High Court, while hearing a review petition, sought updated status reports on the removal of unauthorised boards, banners, and election-related materials across the State.

Justice Devan Ramachandran asked the SEC, District Officers, and LSGI Secretaries to file detailed reports on compliance with the Court’s earlier directions declaring such installations illegal and liable to penal action.

The Court noted difficulties faced on the ground, including threats to Panchayat Secretaries, and directed full support from police and public authorities. It clarified that no organisation including political, cultural, or commercial, is exempt from its earlier directions.

The matter will be considered further after court vacation.
