- The Allahabad High Court had ordered the Uttar Pradesh Government to conduct urban local body elections without the OBC reservations.
- Because the “triple test” requirement for the quota has not been fulfilled.
- The Supreme Court put forth the triple test in the case Vikas Kishanrao Gawali vs. State of Maharashtra and others in 2021.
- It involves the government implementing three tasks to finalize the reservation to the OBCs in the local bodies.
- These tasks are
- To constitute a dedicated commission to conduct a rigorous empirical study into the nature and implications of the backwardness in local bodies
- To specify the proportion of reservation required in local bodies based on the commission’s recommendations
- To ensure that the reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs together do not surpass the aggregate of 50 percent of the total seats.
