The judges said some overlap in reserved seats may occur when boundaries or population patterns change
The Bombay High Court has upheld Maharashtra’s reservation and rotation policy for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in local body elections, dismissing a batch of petitions that challenged ward delimitation and a rule treating the upcoming polls as the starting point of a new reservation cycle.
The petitions were filed after the local bodies’ elections across the state were announced. However, the HC heard the petitions last month and reserved it for orders. The judgment was pronounced on Friday.
