  • 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.
