MP HC strikes down 27% OBC quota, reverts to 14%

The Madhya Pradesh High Court struck down the 2019 law raising OBC reservation from 14% to 27%, calling it unconstitutional. The court cited the Supreme Court's 50% quota ceiling, inadequate data, and drafting errors. OBC appointments exceeding 14% after September 29, 2022, were declared null and void. Recruitment agencies must implement the order within three months.
