flag Telangana seeks Supreme Court approval to implement 42% BC reservation in local polls, citing caste survey and constitutional exceptions.

flag The Telangana government has appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn a high court stay on its 42% reservation for Backward Classes in local body elections, arguing that a caste survey showing BCs make up 56.33% of the population justifies the quota. flag The state claims the move complies with constitutional provisions, citing exceptions to the 50% reservation ceiling in exceptional cases and asserting that a legislative bill is deemed approved if the President does not act within three months. flag The Supreme Court is expected to hear the case before its vacation begins on October 18, as elections are set for October 23 and 27.
