Based on a petition filed by the All India Democratic Women’s Association, the court also issued a notice to the Haryana government.
Panchayat elections in the state are scheduled to be held in three phases on October 4, 11 and 18 this year.
According to the law, while general candidates must have passed class 10, women and Dalit candidates should have cleared class 8 to contest the Panchayat polls.
Candidates should also not have a criminal conviction, no pending electricity bills and a working toilet, the law had said.
