Hyderabad, July 10: Hearing on a writ petition filed in the A.P. High Court regarding reservation of wards for some Muslim communities in the ensuing elections to GHMC has been adjourned by two weeks.
The Bench comprising Chief Justice Anil Ramesh Dave and Justice Ramesh Ranganathan was dealing with a writ petition filed by Pradeep Kumar, an advocate. He said that the delimitation of wards as proposed and published was not in accordance with rules. He gave the list of wards and voters to show that the whole exercise was not in accordance with law.
N. Ramchander Rao, counsel for the petitioner, contended that the proposed reservation of wards for Muslims was not sustainable. The Bench wanted the government to file counter affidavit.
