Telangana High Court Maintains Stay on Welfare Schemes Amid Government Affidavit Issues
The Telangana High Court upheld its stay on the state's Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak welfare schemes, delaying fund disbursement to beneficiaries. The court criticized the government for a flawed affidavit wrongly citing Article 162 of the Constitution and questioned its financial priorities, especially regarding compensation for landowners and unpaid court staff salaries. The government was directed to file corrected affidavits and clarify its financial status concerning welfare scheme funding. The court also ordered removal of misleading social media content related to the case.
