JUDGMENT

The petitioner contends that the total number of seats allocated to SC/ST factions in all Grama Panchayats, Block Panchayats, District Panchayats, Municipalities and Corporations have not been published so far. The Government Pleader has made available to me a copy of the Gazette notification dated 23.09.2015 which reflects the total number seats allocated to SC/ST factions in all local bodies. It is also stated that the details have already been uploaded in the official website and the election process has already commenced by accepting the nominations.

No further directions are warranted and the Writ Petition is disposed of.
