Maharashtra Should File Review Against Maratha Quota Ruling: Panel

Maharashtra should file a review petition against the Supreme Court's decision to dismiss Maratha quota, a panel formed by the Uddhav Thackeray government said.

A committee headed by a retired high court judge has recommended that the Maharashtra government file a review petition against the Supreme Court's decision to dismiss Maratha quota, a senior minister said on Friday. The committee under Justice (retd) Dilip Bhosale submitted its 570-page report to the state government on Friday, ahead of the deadline of June 7, said a statement from Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's office. On May 5, the top court struck down a law that gave Marathas quota in jobs and education under the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) category in Maharashtra. On May 11, the state government formed an eight-member committee to study the verdict and suggest further legal action.
