Supreme Court extends deadline for GBA civic polls to August 31, rejects Karnataka govt’s September push
BENGALURU: The long-pending elections to the five city corporations under the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) will now have to be completed by August 31 after the Supreme Court on Wednesday granted Karnataka a two-month extension from its earlier June 30 deadline. The state government had sought time till September 30, citing administrative constraints, but the apex court declined the request and fixed August-end as the final timeline.
