Q1Consider the following statements regarding the Rajasthan High Court's directions on the delayed local body elections: 1. The court set 5 August 2026 as the final deadline for the OBC Commission to submit its report. 2. The court ordered that the elections be postponed until the OBC Commission's report is received. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: the court fixed 5 August 2026 as the final deadline for the OBC Commission's report, with no relaxation. Statement 2 is incorrect: the court held that even if the report is not received by 5 August, the reservation lottery must still be completed so that elections are not delayed — the wait for the report can no longer be a ground to postpone polls. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
