The Madhya Pradesh High Court has held that OBC reservation in the State will remain at 14 per cent and rejected the 2019 increase to 27 per cent, directing that posts held back under the disputed 13 per cent be filled from the unreserved category within three months.
The Supreme Court asked Maharashtra to consider delaying local body poll nominations while it examines the 27% OBC quota issue. The court warned that continuing the process may complicate elections already under legal scrutiny.
