Bombay HC To Decide Whether Backward Class Commission Which Recommended 10% Maratha Reservation Should Be Made Party To Challenge

The Bombay High Court dismissed a challenge to the Maratha reservation, upholding the findings of the Justice Sunil Shukre Commission. The court ruled that the Commission's report, which justified the reservation, was well-founded and thorough. The challenge had argued against the validity of the Commission's findings, alleging biases and procedural irregularities. However, the court found no merit in these claims, emphasizing the Commission's diligent approach in assessing the need for Maratha reservation in educational institutions and public employment. This decision reaffirms the legality and necessity of the Maratha quota, based on extensive factual and legal scrutiny by the Commission.
