NEW DELHI: The state on Friday requested the SC to modify its July 28 order allowing OBC quota in polls to 271 panchayats and permit similar reservations in the elections to 92 civic councils and 4 nagar panchayats, reports Dhananjay Mahapatra.
In its July 28 order, an SC bench had accepted the July 7 report of the Dedicated Commission for Reservation for backward class citizens in local bodies and allowed the state election commission to hold elections to the remaining local bodies by giving effect to the recommendations of the panel.
