The Supreme Court today directed the Tripura State Election Commission to conduct elections to the village committees under the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council in a single phase on September 27.
The direction by a bench of justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi came after Attorney General R Venkataramani, appearing for Tripura SEC, suggested conducting the entire election in a single phase.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the state government, agreed with Attorney General’s submission.
