HC declines to vacate stay on Kalyana Lakshmi, Shaadi Mubarak
The Telangana High Court has refused to lift a stay on the state's Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak welfare schemes. The judge questioned the government's prioritization of these schemes over compensating citizens for land acquisition.
Why it matters
The case highlights the tension between state-funded welfare programs and the government's legal obligations to compensate citizens for infrastructure projects.
The Telangana High Court on Wednesday declined to vacate the order staying operation of State government’s Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak schemes and disbursement of funds to beneficiaries under the two schemes.
Justice N.V. Shravan Kumar, who passed the stay order on August 12 after hearing a writ petition filed by HC advocate Vijay Gopal challenging constitutional validity of the schemes, adjourned the hearing to Thursday. The judge also directed social media platforms to delete the content filed by a website Telugu Scribe after the advocate filed an interim application stating that the website was posting misleading content over his plea questioning operation of the two welfare schemes.
