The High Court reserved its decision and reprimanded the Punjab government for not holding elections after more than a year.
However, the Advocate General of Punjab sought an extension until March. The High Court questioned why elections cannot be held before the end of December.

Notably, two separate petitions were filed in the High Court, requesting elections for Municipal Corporations and Municipal Councils.
