Bengaluru: In a setback to the Government, a Single Judge Bench of the High Court on Thursday set aside the Government’s Oct. 8, 2020 reservation notification to the posts of President and Vice-President in all the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), including Town Municipalities. The Court also directed the State Government to notify the new reservation matrix within four weeks.
Members of several Urban Local Bodies including Somwarpet Town Panchayat, Hassan, Arasikere, Harihar and other CMCs had moved the High Court questioning the Government’s reservation quota for ULB Presidential posts.
