High Court of Karnataka in Kalaburagi that heard two petitions related to the elections to the posts of Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Kalaburagi City Corporation on Thursday adjourned hearing to Friday.
Congress corporators of the civic body have approached court with two petitions — one challenging the efforts of the BJP, which did not have a majority in the civic body, to capture Mayoral positions by including its seven Members of Legislative Council from other districts in the electoral roll of Gulbarga South Assembly Constituency thereby making them members of the civic body so that they could vote in Mayoral elections and the other on change in reservation for the Mayor post from Scheduled Tribes to General Woman and then to Scheduled Castes.
A Bench headed by Justice E.S. Indresh clubbed and heard the petitions in the virtual mode, as they were inter-related and pertaining to the same matter.
