Karnataka Challenges High Court Ruling on Enhanced SC/ST Reservation Quotas
Karnataka's Congress-led government is challenging a High Court ruling that struck down its 2022 law enhancing SC and ST reservation quotas from 18% to 24%, raising total reservations to 56%. The court invalidated the law due to procedural lapses in consulting constitutional bodies. The state plans to appeal to the Supreme Court and seek inclusion of the law in the Constitution's Ninth Schedule for protection. Concurrently, it is reviewing welfare schemes and conducting a social audit to improve fund utilization for SC/ST communities.
