PWD minister Chandrakant Patil, who headed the cabinet subcommittee on Maratha reservation said that neither the Nagpur bench nor the Supreme Court has given any stay on Maratha reservation decision.
The state government plans to challenge decision of the Nagpur High Court bench on reservation benefits to Maratha community in post-graduate medical education admissions for this academic year. The Nagpur bench on Thursday said that reservation benefit cannot be given retrospectively from this year.
PWD minister Chandrakant Patil, who headed the cabinet subcommittee on Maratha reservation said that neither the Nagpur bench nor the Supreme Court has given any stay on Maratha reservation decision. He said the state has decided to give 16 per cent reservation to Maratha community in jobs and education. Patil made it clear that the process for recruitment and admissions would be carried out as none of the courts have struck down the reservation decision.
Patil informed that after the decision, reservation decision was challenged in high court as well as supreme court. He said that SC immediately rejected the application and pointed out that the case is being heard before HC.
Patil said that the Nagpur High Court bench has made it clear that next year there would not be any problem to implement it. Patil said that the state government would move SC tomorrow itself and seek directions in this regard. He said that students whose admissions have been done in these three lists were done since HC had clearly ordered to undertake the procedure for admissions. Academic year starts from June and final decision on the Maratha reservation petitions is scheduled to be in June. That is the reason Patil said the government would approach Supreme Court. He said they were confident that the students whose post-graduate medical admissions have been given in last three lists would be done as per the reservation rules. Patil said that if the government is required to do an exception for this one year. The state plans to make subsequent changes in law after the code of conduct is lifted so that retrospective effect can be given for a few days in which admission process of these students was undertaken.
