Case Note & Summary
The High Court of Karnataka at Bengaluru heard a batch of writ petitions filed under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India challenging notifications issued by the State Government regarding reservation of wards in urban local bodies. The petitioners, including individuals such as Ravindra Nayak, P. Jayendra Kotian, and others, contended that the reservation notifications (dated 10.08.2018 and 30.07.2018) were arbitrary or illegal, particularly in relation to wards in the Mangalore City Corporation and other municipalities. They sought quashing of the notifications and directions to reserve certain wards for the general category as per earlier draft notifications. The respondents included the Karnataka State Election Commission, the State of Karnataka, the Mangalore City Corporation, and other municipal bodies. The petitions were clubbed for hearing. The extracted text does not contain the court's analysis, reasoning, issues framed, or the final order, as the judgment appears incomplete. Consequently, the decision and ratio decidendi are not available.
