In Madhya Pradesh ( Madhya Pradesh ), the screw over 27 percent OBC reservation continues. Hearing a new petition today, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has stayed the 27 percent OBC reservation in the MPPSC recruitment process . The court has said that only 14 percent reservation will continue in the recruitment process. Actually this petition was filed on behalf of MPPSC 2019 student Niharika Tripathi. The student had challenged the process of giving 27% OBC reservation in the recruitment process after the recently released MPPSC 2019 exam results. During the hearing on behalf of the petitioner, it was argued that the total percentage of reservation being given to different categories in the MPPSC recruitment process is 63 percent.

That is, in the result of MPPSC 2019 Mains, 63 percent reservation is being given to OBC, SC and ST categories. Already in many cases, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has banned the 27 percent OBC reservation. At the same time, many judgments of the Supreme Court also say that the percentage of reservation cannot exceed 50 percent in any condition. The Division Bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court Chief Justice RV Malimath, hearing the matter, has issued a notice directing that only 14 percent reservation should be given to OBC category in the MPPSC 2019 recruitment process.

Reply sought from MPPSC

The court has issued a notice to the government and the MPPSC and sought an explanation as to on what basis the candidates were being given the benefit of 27% reservation in the recruitment process. This yatra has also been summoned by the High Court along with other petitions related to OBC reservation. At the same time, the next hearing in the case will be on February 21. Let us tell you that there is already a ban on 27 percent OBC reservation. During the hearing held today, the court has upheld the ban on reservation.
