Case Note & Summary
The judgment before the High Court of Karnataka involved a batch of writ petitions filed by various individuals challenging notifications issued by the State Government regarding reservation of wards for local body elections in different urban local bodies across Karnataka. The lead petition, W.P. No.44499/2018, filed by Mr. Ravindra Nayak, sought to quash the notification dated 10.08.2018 insofar as it reserved Ward No.19 of Mangalore City Corporation for a category other than General, and to direct reservation for General category as per an earlier draft notification. Other petitions challenged similar notifications dated 30.07.2018 and 10.08.2018 for various municipal councils and city corporations. The petitioners argued before the court that the reservations were not in accordance with law. The State Government and the State Election Commission were respondents. The cases were heard by Justice S. Sunil Dutt Yadav. The judgment is incomplete in the provided text, and the final decision and reasoning are not available.
