Supreme Court upholds Andhra Pradesh High Court judgment on BC reservations
India's Supreme Court affirmed a Andhra Pradesh High Court ruling that upheld the state's backward class reservation limit, rejecting claims it exceeded the 50% ceiling. A two‑judge bench, comprising Justices Dipankar Datta and Sheel Nagav, described the lower court's decision as ‘very reasonable’ and noted the absence of empirical evidence to justify surpassing the cap.
