The CJI questioned why the quota is not applicable to students who went to places like Dubai for their intermediate studies. He questioned why the Telangana quota is not applicable even if a student is born and studies in Telangana and studies outside for 2 years. He clarified that students from other states do not come under the local quota.

Advocate Singhvi, representing the Telangana government, explained to the court that the state government has finalized locality based on four years of study or residence.
