Supreme Court rejects Centre's Maratha reservation review plea
The Supreme Court has dismissed the review petition filed by the Centre in the Maratha reservation case. A five-judge Constitution bench said that the grounds taken in the review petition do not fall within the limited ground on which review petition can be considered, Bar and Bench reported.
The Centre had filed a review petition in the court against its interpretation of the 102nd Constitutional amendment in the case. The court in its May 5 order struck down a Maharashtra law that gave reservations in jobs and education to Marathas under the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) category.
