Karnataka High Court today ordered the state government and the Urban Development Department to furnish the list of wards and reservation of wards of the Bruhut Bangalore Mahanagra Palike (City Corporation) to the State Election Commission (SEC) before November 30.
A Division Bench of Chief Justice P D Dinakaran and Justice V G Sabhahit also directed the SEC to notify the calendar of events for the BBMP polls before December seven.
After hearing the Advocate General Ashok Haranahalli, the judges ordered that all the writ petitions pertaining to holding of election to BBMP, pending before the single judges be posted before the division bench.
On September 17, the High Court had granted time till October 10 for issuing the ward reservation list and October 23 for releasing calendar of events.
The SEC submitted that it is not in a position to conduct elections to 198 wards as the state government had not furnished the reservation of wards list.
The judges adjourned further hearing of the petition to December seven.
