The Maharashtra Government’s recent decision to rescind the 5% reservation for the Muslim community in educational institutions and public employment has been challenged in the Bombay High Court.
Advocate Ejaz Naqvi has filed a public interest litigation (PIL) seeking the immediate quashing of the government resolution (GR) issued on Tuesday (February 17, 2026). The petition, which is likely to be mentioned for an urgent hearing before the High Court, has questioned the rationale behind the sudden withdrawal of the quota, a move that has reignited a political and legal debate in the State.
