‘Clock Symbol Case Sub Judice’: SC Asks Ajit Pawar NCP to Issue Disclaimer in Newspapers

The Supreme Court directed the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar-led faction to publish a disclaimer in newspapers stating that the issue of the “clock” symbol allocation is pending in court. The court suggested both factions focus on voters instead of wasting energy in court battles. The Ajit Pawar faction was asked to publish the disclaimer within 36 hours. The factions were in a dispute over the use and misuse of the “clock” symbol, with the Sharad Pawar faction claiming a long association with the symbol. The court urged the factions to prioritize engaging with voters.
