flag Maharashtra's Maratha reservation policy sparks legal challenge over caste eligibility; case reassigned to new bench.

flag A Bombay High Court division bench recused itself from hearing five petitions challenging Maharashtra’s decision to allow Marathas to obtain Kunbi caste certificates for reservation benefits, citing no reason. flag The petitions, filed by OBC groups, argue the move is arbitrary and unconstitutional, claiming it undermines established caste classifications and could disrupt the OBC reservation system. flag The policy, issued after a Maratha activist’s hunger strike, permits Marathas with proof of past Kunbi identity to apply under the Hyderabad gazetteer. flag The cases will now be heard by a new bench led by Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad, with potential implications for reservation eligibility in Maharashtra.
