Bihar moves Supreme Court against Patna High Court decision to quash 65% reservation law

The Bihar government has approached the Supreme Court challenging the Patna High Court's decision to annul a law providing 65% reservation in government jobs and educational institutions for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC). \r

The High Court had declared the law unconstitutional, citing its violation of the Supreme Court's 50% cap on reservations. Bihar argues that the reservation aims to uplift marginalized communities and improve their representation in public sectors. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for reservation policies across India.
