The Court also left it open to all stakeholders to take appropriate decisions on the matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that it is not in dispute that the election for the Bar Council of Uttar Pradesh had already been notified, although the nomination process had not yet commenced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court observed that it was not feasible at that stage to issue a positive mandamus directing the reservation sought by the petitioner, as the matter of reservation was essentially a policy issue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioner was given liberty to approach the appropriate forum at a later stage if required.
