Senior counsel Desai Prakash Reddy, representing Mr Uttam Kumar Reddy, said the schedule issued by the SEC was also the notification under the terms of the Telangana Municipalities Act. If the SEC does not give me sufficient time, how can I obtain a caste certificate.” Senior counsel C.V. Mohan Reddy, representing the SEC, said the election notice of December 23 was just meant to call upon the voters to exercise their vote as per the schedule that would commence on January 7.
