Supreme Court Bars Ajit Pawar from Using Sharad Pawar's Images in Campaign

The court mandates Ajit Pawar's faction to establish its own identity ahead of Maharashtra elections.

The Supreme Court has prohibited the Ajit Pawar-led faction from using photos and videos of Sharad Pawar in their election campaign.
Ajit Pawar's faction is instructed to maintain a distinct identity separate from Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
The court's decision follows a plea by Sharad Pawar's camp to stop the misuse of his image and the party's clock symbol.
Ajit Pawar's faction must issue a disclaimer regarding the contested use of the clock symbol, pending a final legal decision.
The ruling comes amid ongoing electoral rivalry between the two factions in the lead-up to the Maharashtra assembly elections.
