Rajasthan High Court Extends Deadline for Local Body Elections to July 31, Orders OBC Commission Report by June 20

The decision was delivered by a division bench of the High Court, headed by Acting Chief Justice Sanjeev Prakash Sharma. The ruling comes after the state government filed a petition seeking an extension of time to complete the long-pending electoral process.

According to the court record, the state government had earlier been directed to complete the elections by April 15. However, following the request for additional time, the matter was heard in detail, and after hearing all parties, the bench reserved its judgment on May 11 before finally pronouncing the order.

During the proceedings, legal arguments were presented on behalf of the election authorities by advocates Amit Kudi and Dharamaram, who participated in the detailed hearing before the division bench.

The court’s latest order not only grants the state government additional time to complete the electoral exercise but also places a strict timeline on the OBC Commission to finalize and submit its report within a defined schedule.

The ruling is expected to have a significant impact on the administrative roadmap for local governance elections in Rajasthan, setting clear judicial timelines for both electoral execution and policy-related reporting.
