Bombay HCPIL/95/2018
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The Court dismissed the PIL challenging Section 4 of the Maharashtra Private Professional Educational Institutions Act, 2006, which provides reservations up to 50% and treats Special Backward Categories as part of Other Backward Classes. The court ruled that unless the statute itself is challenged, the prayer cannot be granted.
What did the court decide?
The prayer for separate reservation is dismissed as the existing statute already provides for these categories under Section 4.
