Supreme Court to hear pleas challenging the ordinance promulgated by Maharashtra Government that provide for blanket 27% reservation to the category of backward classes in the local body elections

Sr Adv Vikas Singh for petitioner refers to Krishna Murthy's judgement and Vikas Gawli's judgement.

Singh: Yes but based on the data. Please see the conclusion of the CB.

Bench: now the ordinance has been issued without doing all this?

Singh again refers to the Constitution Bench judgement.

Singh: Please see the ordinance that has been challenged.

Bench: What is that notice related to the commission? Has the Commission given a data?

Singh: Only centre will give them raw data with % OBC but they will not have the data related to backwardness of political participation.

Singh: If election goes through, it will have snowballing effect. 
Elections have been notified to 2100 seats.
