File written instructions over caste quota in liquor shop licences: Telangana High Court
The Hindu
Petitioners contend that caste cannot be the basis for providing any reservations while granting licences
Justice K. Lakshman of Telangana High Court on Wednesday instructed the State government to file written instructions over caste-based reservations for allotment of liquor shop licences.
The judge passed the direction after hearing a writ petition, which was moved as lunch motion, seeking to declare GO 87 and GO 98 issued by State government as illegal and arbitrary.
The GO 87 and GO 98 issued on September 20 and November 5 respectively mandated that reservations of 15%, 10% and 5% be implemented for Goud caste, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes respectively in allotment of liquor shop licenses.
