The High Court of Karnataka on Monday (June 19) gave 12 weeks to the State government to redo the delimitation of wards of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) as per the law.
A Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice Prasanna B. Varale and Justice M.G.S. Kamal, passed the order on an appeal filed by B.N. Manjunath Reddy and three others. The petitioners had questioned the November 16, 2022, verdict of a single judge, who had found no fault in the delimitation process and the delimitation notification issued on July 14, 2022.
The Bench passed the order by accepting the appeal after the Advocate General Shashi Kiran Shetty said there is a need to redo the delimitation to rectify the errors pointed out by the appellants.
