A Bombay High Court bench recused itself from hearing petitions against Maharashtra’s decision to grant Kunbi caste certificates to Marathas. The matter will now be placed before Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar’s bench.
Multiple petitions in Bombay High Court challenge Maharashtra’s decision to issue Kunbi caste certificates to Marathas, calling the move “arbitrary, unconstitutional and politically expedient.” Petitioners argue it will deprive genuine OBCs of their rightful share of reservation.
The Bombay High Court has directed activist Manoj Jarange and his supporters to leave Azad Maidan by 3 pm, warning of contempt and strict action. The court said the protest is illegal and has paralysed Mumbai.
Bombay High Court said Mumbai has been “practically brought to a standstill” by Manoj Jarange’s Maratha quota agitation. The court warned protesters to vacate streets by Tuesday noon or face action.
The Supreme Court of India has agreed to hear the Maharashtra government’s curative petition challenging the court’s earlier decision to strike down the Maratha quota.
