The Court has held that the Maratha community was not entitled to the reservation as socially and educationally backward class (SEBC), and it was not a case of an extraordinary situation or exceptional circumstance to provide reservation to Marathas by exceeding 50% upper limit or ceiling on reservation as laid down in Indra Sawhney case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was expressed that for exceeding reservation beyond 50%, extraordinary circumstances as indicated in Indra Sawhney, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/lZQIy0uP\">1992 Supp (3) SCC 217<\/a>, must exist for which extreme caution is to be exercised.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Short Notes: 10<\/span><\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Constitution of India \u2014 Arts. 16(4), 15(4) and 15(5) \u2014 Reservation \u2014 Extent to which permissible:<\/strong> Maximum upper limit of 50% reservation as laid down in Indra Sawhney, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/lZQIy0uP\">1992 Supp (3) SCC 217<\/a>, binding under Art. 141 and has to be implemented.

Ss. 4(1)(a) &amp; (b) of the MSEBC Act, 2018 as amended in 2019 granting 12% and 13% reservation for Maratha community in addition to 50% social reservation in educational institutions and public services in State of Maharashtra, declared ultra vires to the Constitution and struck down.
