In overturning the Maharashtra Reservation judgment, the Supreme Court paved the way for a State List on SEBCs.

The Supreme Court has refused to review its Maratha judgment.

DESK BRIEF: States and the Union are disappointed with the Maratha Reservation verdict, will the Union amend the Constitution to reverse it?

The Court has dismissed the review petition on the Maratha judgment. The Union must now begin consultations for a Central OBC List.

With the petition seeking orphans to be identified as a backward class, are we moving away from a caste centric definition of backwardness.

Bhushan J interpreted the 102nd Constitution Amendment Act purposively whereas Bhat J interpreted the Amendment strictly based on its text.

The Court has struck down reservation for Marathas, after 3 attempts in the 4th round of litigation on the issue. Will there be Attempt 4?

The Session was dominated by COVID-related cases, and tackling pendency. Maratha reservations were struck down, and Ramana took over as CJI.

Judgment breakdown: The 50% limit on reservation was unanimously affirmed. The 102nd Amendment took away States' power to recognise OBCs.
