The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Sharad Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), allowing it to use the party name 'Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar' and the symbol 'man blowing turha' for the upcoming Lok Sabha and State Assembly elections. This decision comes amidst a legal battle with the Ajit Pawar faction over the use of the NCP's name and symbols. The court also directed the Election Commission of India to recognize the Sharad Pawar faction under the specified name and symbol, while instructing the Ajit Pawar group to issue a public notice that the NCP's 'clock' symbol is sub-judice and its use is subject to further adjudication. The court also mandated that the 'clock' poll symbol's status as sub-judice must be declared in all poll-related advertisements by the Ajit Pawar group.
