Today (13th September), the Supreme Court will consider advancing the hearing date for West Bengal’s plea against a Calcutta High Court verdict that revoked the OBC status of several castes. The appeal is scheduled for September 30, with concerns that the verdict is affecting admissions for 77 communities.
The West Bengal Government today urgently appealed to the Supreme Court regarding the annulment of OBC status for several castes, particularly Muslim groups, impacting reservations and admissions. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal stressed the need to stay the High Court’s verdict due to its impact on NEET-UG 2024 admissions. The Supreme Court will hear the matter on August 27.
