Confusion prevails over legal validity after apex court verdict in Maratha case
The 10% economic reservation introduced in the employment in Devaswom Boards of Kerala will continue uninterrupted, though confusion prevails in the State over the legal validity of the economic quota. It was the recent verdict of the Supreme Court in the Maratha reservation case, which fixed an upper limit of 50% for reservation, that has triggered the confusion. The 10% economic quota was prescribed over and above the statutory 50% caste-based reservation, thus taking the total reservation to 60% in the State.More Related News
