The Telangana High Court on Wednesday stayed the state government's Shaadi Mubarak and Kalyana Lakshmi schemes, halting all payments to beneficiaries until further orders. Justice NV Shravan Kumar passed the interim order after the state sought more time to file a counter affidavit in a petition challenging the schemes' legality. Petitioner and advocate Vijay Gopal argued that the schemes were implemented through Government Orders without a law passed by the state legislature, violating constitutional provisions on fiscal discipline and public fund regulation. The court adjourned the matter to September 9. The Kalyana Lakshmi scheme provides Rs 1,00,116 to unmarried women from SC, ST, and EBC communities, while Shaadi Mubarak offers the same amount to minority community brides.
