What are the consequences of Supreme Court agreeing to examine Bihar's appeal against Patna HC order quashing 65% quota

Explore the impact of the Supreme Court's decision on Bihar's 65% quota and its implications on reservation policies.
  • The Supreme Court's decision to examine Bihar's appeal against the Patna High Court order quashing the 65% quota may lead to a final judgement on the validity of the quota policy.
  • If the Supreme Court upholds the 65% quota, it will provide legal validation to Bihar's reservation policy, securing increased opportunities for reserved category candidates.
  • Conversely, if the Supreme Court strikes down the quota, it could set a precedent impacting reservation policies across states, leading to potential reevaluation and modifications of existing reservation systems.
  • This decision may also influence discussions and debates surrounding the constitutional framework of reservation policies and the balance between affirmative action and meritocracy.
