The Maharashtra State Backward Class Commission interim report has recommended to the Maharashtra government, “to restore and grant 27% reservation (which is already prescribed by various enactments) to Other Backward Classes (OBC)”.
The Commission headed by Justice (retd.) Anand Nirgude submitted the report to the Maha Vikas Aghadi government on February 7 and said, “The figure of OBC population in the State is 38%.”
On January 19, the Supreme Court had directed the Commission to submit an interim report after the State had informed the court that it has some data on OBC which is relevant for the upcoming local polls.
