Supreme Court Refuses To Pause Ruling That Struck Down 65% Quota In Bihar | Read
In a setback for the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar, the Supreme Court today refused to stay the Patna High Court order that struck down state government's 65% quota for backward classes.
The quota was increased from 50% to 65% for Backward Classes, Extremely Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes (SCs), and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the state, after the Bihar government carried out a caste survey in the state last year.
The quota hike was applicable in jobs and educational institutions in Bihar.
