Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court on Wednesday declined to pass any orders on staying the upcoming GHMC elections while dealing with a batch of Public Interest Litigations.
Arguing the case, petitioners counsel Rachana Reddy told the court that the reservation with regard to GHMC mayor post and corporators was not done as per the GHMC Act.
She urged the High Court to issue orders for staying the elections immediately. However responding to the plea, a division bench of the HC said that it could not pass any orders as there was hardly one week left to hold the elections.
The court, however, said that it would hear the batch of petitions again on December 23 and adjourned the case.
