Supreme Court Refuses to Interfere with Telangana HC Order
The Supreme Court dismissed a plea challenging a Telangana High Court order that stayed the State government's decision to raise Other Backward Classes (OBC) reservation in municipalities and panchayats to 42 per cent.
The State's move, made ahead of elections to such local bodies, effectively took total reservations (OBC, SC, ST etc.) to 67 per cent. A Division Bench of the Telangana High Court stayed this reservation hike on October 9, while considering a batch of petitions filed on the issue.
The local elections can continue without any proposed hike in OBC reservations.
A Supreme Court Bench of Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta refused to interfere with the High Court's interim order.
