Uttar Pradesh Civic Elections Okayed by SC
The Supreme Court of India has given its nod to Uttar Pradesh urban local body elections. The green signal to these elections has been given with OBC reservation.
In order to decide the reservation of backward classes in these elections the state government had already formed the UP Backward Classes Commission which submitted its report to the state government earlier.
On the basis of this report the apex court allowed the UP government issued the notification to conduct urban local body elections.
The Supreme Court had earlier stayed the Allahabad High Court’s direction in which it had permitted the Uttar Pradesh Election Commission to go ahead with the elections of urban local body without reservation for OBCs.
