PORVORIM: The High Court of Bombay at Goa has directed the North Goa Collector to hold elections to the managing committee of Serula Comunidade for the triennium 2013-2016 on or before December 31.
It may be recalled that election to the managing committee of the Comunidade of Serula, which was fixed on January 20, was postponed under Article 49 of the Code of Comunidades and the North Goa collector had submitted a proposal to the State government to appoint a temporary managing committee.
Accordingly, the State government had issued an order on April 8 appointing a temporary committee. Aggrieved by the order, Joseph Cosme Pinto and five others filed a writ petition in the High Court seeking an early date to hold the elections to the managing committee.
Considering the facts of the case and the records placed, the High Court passed an order on September 18, directing the North Goa collector to hold elections to the managing committee for Serula Comunidade before December 31.
