Abstract

The supreme court on 6th December, 2021 stayed the 27% reservation for the OBCs in the local body elections, in the new petition filed by Rahul Ramesh Wagh. The supreme court noted the decisions held earlier this year in Vikas Kisanrao Gawali v State of Maharashtra. An important stance taken in the judgement was that political backwardness does not necessarily mean the same as social or economic backwardness. Therefore, reservation policies with respect to political backwardness should not be constructed with social and economic backwardness in mind.
