The latest law that gave the Marathas a 10 per cent independent quota in jobs and education has been challenged in the Bombay High Court. The state government had legislated the provision in a special one-day session on February 20. A special category of socially and educationally backward class (SEBC) was created on the lines of similar laws passed in 2014 and 2018. Both laws did not pass legal scrutiny.
Petitioners Advocate Jayashri Patil and her husband and counsel in this case, Gunaratna Sadavarte, said that the state government did not have the right to create an independent category SEBC for reservation. He said the total reservation in Maharashtra has now become 72 per cent which was a violation of the Supreme Court guidelines.
