**Telangana High Court Warns Petitioners Against Time-Wasting Tactics in BC Reservation Bill Debate**
**Hyderabad, October 8, 2025** – The Telangana High Court today cautioned petitioners challenging the Backward Classes (BC) Reservation Bill against wasting the court’s time with repetitive arguments and overly lengthy presentations. During the debate on the bill, the court reminded petitioners that this was not the final hearing and urged them to avoid rehashing the same points for hours on end.
The court’s remarks came as government lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi presented his arguments in favor of the bill. He highlighted the unanimous approval of the BC Reservation Bill by all political parties in the Assembly and argued against issuing a stay order on the Government Order (GO) related to the bill. Singhvi emphasized the government’s right to increase reservations based on the needs of the people. He also questioned the petitioners’ basis for questioning the authenticity of caste census data, implying their arguments were unfounded.
Singhvi further explained that the exercise regarding reservations was not conducted when the Telangana Panchayat Raj Act was passed in 2018. He reminded the court of the nationwide implementation of the 10% EWS reservation in 2019, which effectively raised the total reservation quota to 60% (50% + 10%). He also pointed out that the bill has been pending with the Governor for six months without any decision, neither approval nor rejection.
