Here is a look at the chronology of the events surrounding the Maratha quota law.
The five-judge Constitution Bench of Supreme Court on Wednesday declared the Maratha quota law as unconstitutional. The Bench unanimously agreed that there was no need to re-visit the 1992 Indira Sawhney judgment which fixed the reservation limit at 50%. It held that a separate reservation for the Maratha community violates Articles 14 (right to equality) 21 (due process of law).
