HC gives 12 weeks to govt. to complete delimitation and reservation of seats in TPs and ZPs

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday directed the State government to complete the process of delimitation of seats in taluk and zilla panchayats and provide reservation of seats, including for the Other Backward Classes (OBCs), as per the apex court’s directions, within 12 weeks.

The court also directed the State Election Commission (SEC) to commence the process of election within one week after expiry of 12 weeks provided for the government to complete the delimitation of seats and for reservation of seats.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi and Justice Ashok S. Kinagi passed the interim order while hearing a PIL petition, filed by SEC last year.
