The Rajasthan High Court today directed the state government and the State Election Commission to conduct panchayat and urban local body elections by July 31, rejecting the government’s request to defer the polls until December.
The division bench headed by Acting Chief Justice S.P. Sharma also directed the OBC Commission to submit its report by June 20 to facilitate the election process. The verdict came after the court reserved its order on May 11, following the conclusion of hearings in the matter.
