The Asiatic Tomorrow panel, led by Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, has taken legal action by filing a caveat in the Supreme Court amidst ongoing delays in the Asiatic Society elections. This move follows the Bombay High Court's decision to uphold a stay on the elections, which were halted by the Charity Commissioner due to reported irregularities in the electoral process. Sahasrabuddhe criticized rival groups for allegedly using the legal system to delay elections and for their lack of concern regarding financial mismanagement within the trust. He emphasized the need for reforms and inclusivity, calling for the elections to be held by June. The Bombay High Court recently dismissed petitions challenging the Charity Commissioner's order, which established a committee to create a new voters' list and manage daily affairs, delaying the announcement of a new election schedule until this list is finalized.
