The SupremeCourt continues hearing the matter of reservation in Maharashtra local bodies election.
Maharashtra govt had urged the SC to recall order renotifying 27% OBC seats as those of general category.
Sr Adv Vikas Singh: Your lordship's first judgment was 4/3/21. The point here was that the statute had provided for reservation so like the constitution bench judgment in K Krishnamurthy, you read down the statute saying it's only enabling
Singh: The question arose why provide reservation on backwardness when we are numerically large. Your lordship held that it is for service purpose.
SC: Your HC writ petition was for what relief?
Singh: Same thing.
SC: Was it withdrawn then?
Singh: Let me check.
Singh: Everything is transferred here (from Bom HC).
SC: Where is the prayer?
Singh: I don't have that paperbook. In the SLP writ petition starts at 84. Prayer is at 108.
SC:Let us see what is the prayer.
