The Supreme Court on Friday (July 12) said that Maratha reservation in Maharashtra cannot be implemented with retrospective effect. This means that provision of the reservation will not guide and govern events that took place before the reservation was officially declared by Maharashtra Government.
The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a petition challenging Bombay High Court judgment, allowing reservations for Marathas in jobs and educational institution. The matter will come up for hearing on Friday.
The petitioners argued that the government has destroyed the concept of equality by setting up a special category - Socially and Educationally Backward Class - for the Maratha community.
On previous hearings, Maharashtra's Advocate General Ashutosh Kumbhakoni had told the court that the state was ready to submit the entire report to the court but would give a truncated version to petitioners.
A caveat is filed by a litigant in high courts and in the Supreme Court to ensure that no adverse order is passed against the party without it being heard.
"We've accepted the recommendations and constituted a Cabinet Sub-committee to take statutory steps for implementing them", said Fadnavis.
"We have received the report, which is based on the economic, social conditions of the Marathas. Appropriate decision will be taken after studying it," Jain told reporters at Mantralaya after receiving the report.
