Though the Bombay High Court on Monday dismissed pleas challenging the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government’s September 2022 law that reversed the previous MVA decision of delimitation and increased the number of BMC wards for civic elections, Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders said they will approach the Supreme Court after reassessing the court order.

The HC said it found no substance in pleas filed by former corporators Raju Pednekar and Sameer Desai. The Shinde-led government reduced the number of wards to 227 from 236 and the ward limits were changed based on the census of 2011. Now the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) is preparing to approach the Supreme Court against the high court’s order.
