Telangana HC adjourns pleas challenging 42 percent BC reservation
Telangana High Court on Wednesday adjourned to Thursday the hearing on petitions challenging the State Government’s order providing 42 percent reservation for Backward Classes in local body elections. Petitioners Buttembare Madhav Reddy and Samudrala Ramesh argued that GO No. 9, issued on 26 September, breaches the constitutional 50 percent cap on reservations and lacks empirical justification.
