SC issues notice to Centre, Bihar government on Patna high court setting aside law raising quotas to 65%

The Supreme Court has sought responses from the Centre and Bihar government regarding an RJD plea against a Patna high court ruling that nullified amended reservation laws in Bihar. These amendments had increased quotas for Dalits, tribals, and backward classes from 50% to 65%. The high court declared them unconstitutional, violating the equality clause.
