SC rejects T'gana's plea against stay on OBC quota in local bodies
The Supreme Court has dismissed the CM Revanth Reddy-led Telangana government’s plea challenging the High Court’s interim stay on expanded reservations past the 50% cap. The state argued that increasing quotas, granting 42% reservation for OBCs for local body elections, is 'a policy decision'. The SC noted that exemptions for exceeding limits apply only in Scheduled Areas and tribal regions.
