Supreme Court Refuses To Stay HC Judgment Nullifying Bihar's 65% Quota Law At Present Stage, Agrees To Hear State's Appeal

The Supreme Court of India has refused to stay the Patna High Court's decision to strike down Bihar's 65% reservation law, which allocated quotas for various categories in educational institutions and jobs. The High Court had declared the law unconstitutional, arguing it violated the Supreme Court's guidelines on reservations. While the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the state's appeal, it will not intervene at this stage. This decision means that the ruling against the law remains in effect while the appeal is considered.
