Hyderabad, March 25 : A larger benchof the Andhra Pradesh High Court reserved its order on the Muslim Reservation Bill on Wednesday.
The bench comprising Chief Justice Anil R. Dave, Justice T. Meena Kumari, Justice B. Prakasha Rao, Justice D.S.R. Varma, Justice A. Gopala Reddy, Justice V. Eswariah and Justice Goda Raghu Ram, declared that the arguments were over on a batch of writ petitions filed in support of and against the state government providing reservations for some sections of the Muslims.
The bench also permitted the petitioners and the respondents to submit their written arguments within a week.
The writ petitions were filed in August 2007. A five-member bench heard the arguments and later decided to refer the case to a larger bench. Subsequently, the case was referred to the seven-member bench in January 2008.
The petitioners argued that the report of the Andhra Pradesh Commission for Backward Classes was erroneous and all the directions in the earlier judgments were violated.
They raised various other contentions about the action of the government in choosing the Muslim community when applications from 125 other groups from the Hindu community were pending.
