The Karnataka cabinet on Friday approved a revised system of sub-quotas for Scheduled Castes within the 15% overall reservation, allocating 5.25% each to right-hand and left-hand Dalit groups and 4.5% to other SC categories. The decision came at a special cabinet meeting and will enable recruitment for thousands of stalled government posts. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah called it a historic move.
The Maharashtra government is set to review its recent policy barring reserved category candidates who avail relaxations from competing for open category posts. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directed the cabinet decision to the Advocate General for legal scrutiny after objections by Shiv Sena minister Sanjay Rathod. The review follows concerns over potential conflicts with Supreme Court rulings.

The Delhi High Court has ruled that aspirants from the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) cannot seek parity with SC/ST/OBC candidates for relaxations in upper age limits or number of attempts in Central government appointments. Justices Anil Kshetarpal and Amit Mahajan noted that the handicaps faced by socially backward and economically deprived classes differ.
