The Supreme Court upholds the EC on its Gujarat stand.
Of course, the verdict cannot be construed as a complete vindication of the EC stand (and hence a complete reprobation of the BJP stand):
"Article 174 and Article 324 operate upon different planes and neither of them is subject to the other," it said rejecting EC's arguments that Article 174 will yield to Article 324 in matters of conducting elections.
All sides have something to take home from this judgement - a fine balancing act by the SC!
