Quota in Maha: Results in 57 seats depend on verdict
Hindustan Times Noida
|November 29, 2025
The Supreme Court on Friday directed elections to more than 280 Municipal Councils and Nagar Panchayats in Maharashtra to go on as scheduled on December 2 while making it clear that the election to 57 seats, where the combined reservation of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and backward classes exceeds 50%, shall be subject to final orders to be passed by the court.
At the same time, the court restrained the state election body from conducting elections to those Panchayat Samiti and Zila Parishad seats where the 50% threshold has been breached as the Maharashtra state election commission was not in a position to provide the exact number of such seats. Barring them, the court allowed the state panel to hold polls for the remaining seats.

Union environment minister Bhupender Yadav, who led India’s delegation at COP30, said this re-anchors the global climate finance debate in terms of the actual legal obligations of developed nations under the agreement. In an interview with HT, Yadav said he believed that COP30 has restored faith in multilateralism with developing countries seeing a structured process capable of holding developed nations accountable for the first time in years.
