flag Meghalaya's high court voided a rule forcing tribal certificates for candidates, saying only the council and governor can change election rules.

flag The Meghalaya High Court has struck down a February 2026 GHADC rule requiring Scheduled Tribe certificates for council candidates, ruling it invalid for bypassing proper legislative procedures. flag The court, citing the 1951 Rules, said only the District Council and Governor can amend eligibility criteria, not the Executive Committee. flag The decision preserves non-tribal residents’ rights to run for and vote in elections, affirming that such changes require formal legislative approval. flag The ruling comes amid unrest in West Garo Hills during nominations, with violence and security measures in place ahead of the April 10 elections.
