Madhya Pradesh Government Moves Supreme Court Against HC Verdict on 27% OBC Quota

The Madhya Pradesh government has filed a petition in the Supreme Court contesting the High Court's ruling that nullified the 27% reservation for Other Backward Classes in state appointments and educational institutions. The petition argues that the High Court's verdict undermines the state's commitment to social justice and disregards the constitutional provisions enabling reservation for backward classes. The state government has urged the apex court to stay the High Court's order and reinstate the OBC quota pending final adjudication, emphasizing the need to protect the interests of backward communities.
