- The Supreme Court held that reservation for Other Backward Classes in Maharashtra’s local bodies should not exceed the aggregate 50% of the total seats reserved in favour of SCs/STs/OBCs taken together.
- This direction is being issued in exercise of plenary power under Article 142 of the Constitution of India to do complete justice.
- It held that the reservation for other backward classes is only “statutory”, unlike the “constitutional” reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
