The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad HC stayed a single bench order for fresh MBBS counselling and allowed SC students admitted under the 70% quota to be shifted to vacant seats. The court asked UP govt to strictly follow the 21% reservation cap from next session.
Today(3rd August), Union Minister Chirag Paswan opposed the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing states to create sub-groups within Scheduled Castes for the 15% quota and announced his party, the Lok Janshakti Party, will appeal. Paswan also supported a caste census, as demanded by Rahul Gandhi, but stressed that the results should not be made public.

The Supreme Court overturned Bihar’s decision to reclassify the Tanti-Tantwa community as Scheduled Castes, reiterating that only the central government can modify these lists as per Article 341 of the Indian Constitution. The Court directed reallocation of affected individuals to Extremely Backward Classes without penalizing them.
