The Bombay High Court has stayed the Goa government’s notification on tribal population, a move that could alter the allocation of reserved seats in the state.
The Bombay High Court issued an order halting the Goa government's notification that listed the state's tribal population. The stay prevents the notification from taking effect until the court decides on the matter.
The notification was intended to define the number of seats reserved for Scheduled Tribes in Goa's legislative bodies and local institutions. By suspending it, the court has temporarily frozen any changes to the reservation quota that the state government sought to implement.
Legal experts note that the case will likely be heard in detail over the coming weeks, and the final judgment could reshape the composition of reserved seats in Goa's political landscape.
