💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has directed the Maharashtra State Election Commission to notify local body elections within four weeks. The court also stated that the contentious issue of OBC reservation in local body polls will remain as it was before the 2022 Banthia Commission report. The court accepted the commission report recommending a census to fix exact OBC data and reserving 27% seats for the category in local body polls.
