SC's big order regarding 'clock' election symbol, asked Ajit Pawar to print 'pending in court' advertisement in 36 hours

Mumbai: Regarding the clock election symbol, the Supreme Court has asked Ajit Pawar to publish a disclaimer in the newspapers within 36 hours that the matter of the clock election symbol is pending in the court. The Supreme Court said that this disclaimer should be printed especially in Marathi newspapers. The court also said that Ajit Pawar should also file an affidavit regarding compliance with the order. The next hearing of the case will now take place on November 13. Sharad Pawar has demanded to ban NCP Ajit Pawar faction from using clock election symbol in Maharashtra Assembly elections. However, even today the court has not given any such order. Sharad Pawar says that the Supreme Court had asked the Ajit Pawar group to write below the clock election symbol in their advertisements that the matter is still pending in the court, but this order is not being followed.

Ajit Pawar group's argument

Senior advocate Balbir Singh, appearing for Ajit Pawar, told the bench headed by Justice Surya Kant that he was following the previous orders of the court. He has also filed its photo. He told the court that he was also going to give advertisements in newspapers with a new disclaimer. On this the court said that why is it taking so much time to print the disclaimer in the newspaper?
