Karnataka to move SC against HC ruling on SC/ST quota

Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar said the Cabinet has decided to challenge the High Court's ruling striking down increased SC/ST quotas in Supreme Court. The government will also write to the PM seeking inclusion of the hike (SC: 15% to 17%, ST: 3% to 7%) in the Ninth Schedule. A Cabinet sub-committee led by Deputy CM Parameshwara will oversee the case.
