The Bihar government has taken a significant legal step by filing a petition in the Supreme Court challenging a recent ruling by the Patna High Court concerning reservation quotas. Filed through, Advocate Manish Kumar, the petition contests the High Court’s decision to invalidate Bihar’s amendment Acts of 2023, which aimed to raise reservation quotas from 50 per cent to 65 per cent for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Classes (OBCs), and Economically Backward Classes (EBCs). This adjustment included allocations of 20 per cent for SCs, 2 per cent for STs, 25 per cent for EBCs, and 18 per cent for OBCs.
