Amid the ongoing high-voltage protest by Manoj Jarange, the Bombay High Court on Monday agreed to have a special hearing on a petition filed against the ongoing agitation. The protest over the Maratha quota reservation is led by activist Manoj Jarange, demanding reservation for the Maratha community.

As reported by news agency PTI, the Bombay High Court has been on holiday since August 27 for the Ganesh festival. The High Court is set to be open on Tuesday, September 2. 

While court proceedings are set to resume on Tuesday, a special bench of Justices Ravindra Ghuge and Gautam Ankhad, however, agreed to have a special hearing this afternoon on a petition filed by the Amy Foundation against the quota protest.
