Andhra Pradesh files SLP in Supreme Court challenging HC judgment on BC quota in local body elections

Andhra Pradesh has filed a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court, challenging a High Court decision that struck down government orders on backward‑class reservation in local body elections. The High Court ruled the combined vertical reservations exceeded the 50% limit, while the state argues the court did not assess the factual basis of the 2026 reservation exercise.
