Supreme Court rejects Centre s Maratha reservation review plea

Synopsis
The Union government s 102nd amendment had taken away decisions (read powers) of awarding reservation to the Maratha community because of which the erstwhile Fadnavis government framed the SEBC Act which has been quashed by the Supreme Court, Chavan, who heads the state sub-committee on Maratha reservation, told a press conference.

Chavan said the SC has stamped on the fact that Maharashtra state has no right to award any such reservation after the 102 amendment in the Constitution.
With the Supreme Court on Wednesday striking down the Maharashtra law granting quota to Marathas in admissions and government jobs, state minister Ashok Chavan criticised former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis for passing the SEBC Act in 2018 without due rights .
