Supreme Court Reserves Verdict on Maharashtra's Two-Child Election Norm
The Supreme Court of India has reserved its verdict on a petition challenging Maharashtra's two-child norm, which disqualifies individuals with more than two children from contesting local body elections. The court is reconsidering a 2003 ruling related to population control laws, prompted by a case involving a former Sarpanch disqualified after the birth of her third child. The decision will determine whether the earlier judgment requires review or referral to a larger bench.
