The apex court of the country has dismissed a writ petition which was filed against the government of Telangana which was about allocating 42 percent reservation to the Backward Classes in the upcoming local body elections. The Supreme Court has granted the petitioner to approach the High Court. A bench led by A bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Sandeep Mehta revealed that two similar writ petitions related to Article 32 are peending before the Telangana High Court and the petitioner cannot directly invoke Article 32.
