SC dismisses Maratha verdict review pleas
The Hindu
‘Grounds taken in review petition have already been dealt with in main judgment’
The Supreme Court has refused to review its judgment holding the Maratha reservation law unconstitutional. The court had also held, in a majority view, that the Centre alone is empowered to identify socially and educationally backward classes (SEBC) to include them in the Central List for claiming reservation benefits. “The grounds taken in the review petition do not fall within the limited ground on which review petition can be considered. The various grounds taken in the review petition have already been dealt with in the main judgment. We do not find any sufficient ground to entertain this review petition. The review petition is dismissed,” a five-judge Bench led by Justice Ashok Bhushan recorded in a short order published late on Thursday.More Related News
