Supreme Court to Begin Daily Hearings on Madhya Pradesh's OBC Reservation Challenge: Constitutional Implications and Employment Impact

The Supreme Court will commence daily hearings on October 8 regarding Madhya Pradesh's controversial 27% OBC reservation policy, which pushes total quotas to 73%, well beyond the constitutional 50% ceiling. Amid allegations involving the historical Ramji Mahajan Commission report, the state defends its position with a 15,000-page affidavit citing "extraordinary circumstances" while thousands of government appointments remain in limbo under a temporary 87:13 recruitment formula awaiting final resolution.
