The Telangana High Court has reserved its verdict on petitions challenging the State’s extension of the liquor shop licence application deadline. Petitioners argue the move violates Excise Rules, while the government defends it as a policy decision prompted by a bandh. The Court clarified that applications submitted during the extended period will be subject to its final ruling.
BC associations in Telangana have threatened to paralyse the state if their demand for 42 per cent reservations is not fulfilled. Leaders from multiple organisations vowed to form a new JAC and launch a stronger agitation across political lines
