The top court passed the order while hearing a plea filed by the state of Goa.
The Supreme Court Wednesday refused to interfere with the Bombay High Court order which directed the issuance of a notification for holding of elections to 186 Panchayats in Goa and also to ensure completion of polls within 45 days.
The top court passed the order while hearing a plea filed by the state of Goa which sought an extension of time till September end to complete the process of polls.
While dismissing the plea, a vacation bench of Justices Dinesh Maheshwari and Krishna Murari noted that in compliance with the high court order of June 28 the notification for election has already been issued on June 30.
"That being the position, we find no reason to interfere in the process of election," the bench said.
