A day after the BJP-Shiv Sena government in Maharashtra decided to grant Maratha reservation retrospectively from 2014, the Supreme Court on Friday restrained it from doing so and made it clear that the law, upheld by the Bombay high court recently, could be not implemented from a back year.
The apex court did not stay the Maratha quota either, but made it clear that appointments and admissions under it will be subject to its final decision.A bench of CJI Ranjan Gogoi and Justices Deepak Gupta and Aniruddha Bose articulated its views while issuing notice to the state government on an appeal filed against the verdict of the Bombay HC upholding the validity of the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act, 2018.
