Mangina Hothri Sri v. Union of India
Case brief
What is this about?
This judgment addresses writ petitions challenging a Government Order that allocated 100% of competent authority quota seats to local Telangana students in colleges established after 2014. The Court analyzed legislative competence, Article 371-D, and Section 95 of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act. The Court rejected the contention of 100% reservation, clarifying it is 85% for locals with 15% open to others. It directed the University to include non-local students in the seat matrix. Ultimately, the writ petitions were dismissed.
What did the court decide?
2nd and 5th respondents directed to ensure the seat matrix notifies that 15% of competent authority quota seats in institutions established after 02.06.2014 are open to students of other States, including Andhra Pradesh.
