The Supreme Court on Friday asked petitioners challenging the delimitation of wards for elections to Bengaluru’s civic body, Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), to approach the Karnataka High Court.
A Bench of Justices S. Abdul Nazeer and J.K. Maheshwari said it would be appropriate for the High Court to consider their pleas about the delimitation exercise.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, for a petitioner, said the current delimitation would favour the ruling party in the State. Senior advocate Meenakshi Arora, appearing for a respondent, said the delimitation work should not stall the elections and a schedule ought to be announced.
