The Supreme Court stayed the 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in Maharashtra local body elections until further orders, on Monday.

As per a report in Live Law, a bench of Justices AM Khanwilkar and CT Ravikumar passed the order in writ petitions filed challenging the Maharashtra Ordinance which introduced the OBC quota in local body polls and the consequent notifications issued by the State Election Commission (SEC) to give effect to the same.
