A government resolution (GR) issued by the chief minister-led general administration department stated that the reservation will be applied from 2014.
On June 27, the Bombay High Court (HC) ruled that the reservation extended by the state government to the community by categorising them as a Socially and Educationally Backward Class (SEBC) was valid. On the basis of the court order, 13 per cent of posts in recruitment for government jobs and 12 per cent of all seats in educational institutions have been reserved for the community.
