A Supreme Court vacation bench of Justices Arijit Pasayat and Lokeshwar Singh Panta issued notice on writ petitions filed by Ashoka Kumar Thakur and by Shiv Khera challenging the OBC quota. It asked the Centre to state in a counter-affidavit, within eight weeks, the basis for identifying Other Backward Classes and the modalities for implementing the policy. The Hindu reported that the court refused to stay the 93rd Amendment and that the bench said the protesters should end their agitation because the matter was before the court. [1][2][3][4]
