The Supreme Court’s registry has identified ten procedural objections in the state government's special permission petition challenging the Jabalpur High Court’s ruling on OBC reservation in Madhya Pradesh, halting any further hearing until they are rectified.
The Madhya Pradesh government has approached the Supreme Court seeking special permission to overturn a Jabalpur High Court order that upheld OBC reservation in the state. The petition aims to challenge the high court's interpretation of reservation quotas and its impact on existing policies.
During a preliminary review, the Supreme Court registry listed ten technical objections in the petition, citing procedural lapses and deficiencies in the documentation submitted. These objections range from incomplete affidavits to non‑compliance with format requirements prescribed by the court.
The registry’s note means that the matter cannot move to a regular hearing until the government corrects the identified flaws. Legal analysts say such procedural hurdles are common in high‑profile cases and can delay the final adjudication by weeks or months.
If the government addresses the objections, the petition will be scheduled for a substantive hearing, where the broader question of OBC reservation in Madhya Pradesh will be examined at the apex court.
