The Maharashtra cabinet issued a recommendation to the state Backward Commission on Tuesday urging it to conduct a comprehensive survey and gather essential data to ensure that the government`s curative petition filed in the Supreme Court is free of errors, stated a report in PTI. This measure is aimed at securing reservation benefits for the Maratha community in the state, according to a statement by Chandrakant Patil, who heads the state government`s sub-committee on Maratha quota, the report added.

Patil was further quoted saying, "The state cabinet made a recommendation to the state Backward Commission to undertake necessary surveys and data collection to make the government`s curative petition in the Supreme Court error-free. With this, the state can contest vigorously in favour of awarding reservation benefits to the Maratha community in the state."
