Karnataka Appeals to Supreme Court Over Increased SC and ST Reservation Quotas
The Karnataka government has filed a Special Leave Petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Karnataka High Court's decision that struck down the state's increased reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, which raised quotas from 15% to 17% for SCs and 3% to 7% for STs, exceeding the 50% cap set by the Supreme Court in 1992. The government seeks to protect the enhanced quotas by including the legislation in the Constitution's Ninth Schedule and continues recruitment despite ongoing legal challenges.
