The High Court of Karnataka on Friday declined to interfere with the decision of the State Election Commission (SEC) to hold elections to several local bodies on April 27 across the State. A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Suraj Govindaraj said it was for the SEC to take a decision on whether there was any need to postponement of elections in view of the COVID-19 second wave. The Bench passed the order while declining a plea by Prithvi Chintapalli Reddy, State convener of the AAP. The petitioner said the conduct of elections to several local bodies, including Ballari City Corporation, as per the schedule, would result in further spread of COVID-19.More Related News
