The Supreme Court of India has refused to stay the Patna High Court order that scrapped the 65% caste-based reservation in jobs and admissions in Bihar. This decision comes after the Bihar government challenged the High Court’s ruling. The Supreme Court has now issued notice on the appeals filed by the Bihar government and has agreed to hear them in September. This means that the 65% reservation policy remains suspended for now, pending the Supreme Court’s final verdict. The court’s decision has significant implications for the future of reservation policies in Bihar and could have wider implications for other states as well. It is important to note that this is a developing story and more updates will be provided as they become available.
