Madhya Pradesh Challenges High Court Ruling on OBC Reservation Increase
The Madhya Pradesh government has filed a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court challenging the High Court's October 9 ruling that struck down the state's 2019 law increasing OBC reservation from 14% to 27%, upholding the 14% quota and 50% overall reservation ceiling. Following the ruling, OBC organisations met Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, urging stronger legal efforts, including surveys and legislative measures, to restore the 27% reservation and address affected candidates' concerns.
