Kodagu: A single bench of the High Court recently voided the election of the President and Vice-President of the local bodies in some taluks of the Kodagu district.

The development comes after elections were recently concluded for the Kushalnagar, Somwarpet, and Virajpet town panchayats.

Advocates A S Ponnanna and M S Chandramouli had submitted a dispute petition to the High Court, stating that the reservations were not done effectively in these three town panchayats. Hearing the petition, the HC declared the elections invalid.

The High Court then gave the state government ten days’ time to respond to the issue.

It can be noted that all the three town panchayats were bagged by the BJP.
