The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notice to the Karnataka government on a plea questioning the announcement of results of the Kolar Municipal Corporation elections despite having a Karnataka High Court judgement against it.
A bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and Dinesh Maheshwari has sought a reply from the state government within two weeks.
Petitioner N M Bhagyamma, represented by advocate Shekhar G Devasa, contended that a plea was made before the HC against the election process which was allowed on November 19, 2020.
"Despite that judgment, the authorities, for inexplicable reasons, proceeded to announce the results on 01.12.2020 without authority of law," he said
