Maharashtra government filed a special Plea in Supreme Court sought Chief Justice of India direct intervention in the matter and plead to form a constitution bench to hear the reservation petition at the earliest.
Describing the current aspects on the issue the Community Petition states,“The reservation has been stayed without giving an opportunity of hearing to the members of the aggrieved SEBC category,”.
“The reservation to the Marathas has been stayed when there is 42% reservation given for 43% population, which excluding the reservation for SC (Scheduled Castes)/ST (Scheduled Tribes) and SEBC, is 62% reservation in the state,”.
“The 103rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2019, has nullified the limit of 50% reservation and the existing reservations have been protected till the date of enactment. This means the reservation to Marathas, which was in existence by then, has been protected,”.
