The stay was lifted on an appeal filed by the YAI. On behalf of the YAI, Advocate Sandeep Sethi, averred that as per law, once the election process has been set into motion, a stay is not maintainable. Advocate Sethi had also argued that the only remedy available with an individual to challenge an election is by way of an election petition. Sethi also said that since no election petition had been filed, the petition filed by Boardsailing Association and 11 others, all members of the YAI, was not maintainable.
