The 2008 Act was published in the Rajasthan Gazette on 31 July 2009, and a notification of 25 August 2009 placed the four communities in the special backward class list. On writ petitions by Captain Gurvinder Singh and others, a Division Bench of the Rajasthan High Court passed an interim order on 12 October 2009 restraining reservation above 50 per cent. On 22 December 2010 it found that no quantifiable data had been collected, directed the state not to give effect to Sections 3 and 4 of the 2008 Act, referred the matter to the State Backward Classes Commission for a study within one year, and said the stay would continue until the matter was decided afresh [4][5][1][2][3]
