Bombay HC bench recuses from hearing pleas against Maratha quota
Millennium Post Delhi
|Delhi 23 September 2025
A division bench of the Bombay High Court on Monday recused from hearing a bunch of petitions challenging the Maharashtra government' decision to issue Kunbi caste certificates to the Maratha community members for reservation.
Five petitions have been filed by persons from the Other Backward Classes, claiming that issuing a Kunbi caste certificate to the Maratha community would consequently include them in the OBC category.
The pleas came up for hearing before a bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Sand-esh Patil.
Justice Patil, however, said he cannot take up the pleas for hearing, following which the bench recused, without specifying any reason.
The petitions will now be placed for hearing in due course before the bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad.
