10 April: Bombay High Court to hear petitions on Maratha reservation law exceeding the 50% cap for reservations in Maharashtra.
Bombay High Court will hear petitions on April 10 seeking an interim stay on Maharashtra's Maratha reservation law, which grants 10% quota in jobs and education for the Maratha community. The petitioners argue that the new quota law exceeds the 50% cap for reservations in all states, leaving only 28% for general category candidates. The Maharashtra government has been directed to file an affidavit in response to the petitions, and the court will assess the constitutional validity of the law during the hearing.
