SC strikes down reservation for Maratha community in education/ jobs exceeding 50%
Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down the Maharashtra State Reservation for Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act, 2018. The top court's five-judge Constitution bench dismissed the writ petition challenging the constitutional validity of a Maharashtra law that grants reservation to the Maratha community in education and jobs.
Justice Bhushan, reading out the judgement said that with respect to Article 342-A, we have upheld the Constitutional Amendment and it does not violate any Constitutional provision and therefore, we have dismissed the writ petition challenging the Maratha Reservation.
