Petition Challenges OBC Quota After District Chief Positions Rise to 41

A petition filed in the Rajasthan High Court contests the OBC reservation count for district chief positions after the creation of new districts. The petitioners claim that the OBC representation, set at 16% of the total seats, should be adjusted to reflect the increase from 33 to 41 posts. They also point to an unpublished OBC Commission report and argue that the government’s refusal to disclose it undermines transparency. The court has not yet ruled but has scheduled a further hearing on September 8.
