Supreme Court of India. Supreme Court of India. The Supreme Court will on Monday hear a plea alleging that petitions challenging the Maharashtra Government’s decision to grant 16 percent quota to Marathas in jobs and education in the state were still pending adjudication. The apex court, while disposing off an appeal against the order, had earlier asked the Bombay High Court to expeditiously decide the issue. The Bombay High Court, however, had not disturbed a similar benefit for the backward Muslims in state-owned or aided educational institutions.
