The Bombay High Court (HC) on Tuesday said that other than showing backwardness of Marathas, the state government will have to justify breaching the 50% limit laid down by the Supreme Court, while granting 10% quota to the community in government jobs and educational institutions.
A three-judge bench of Chief Justice DK Upadhyaya, and Justices Girish Kulkarni and Firdosh Pooniwalla asked the government to justify its move behind the Maratha reservation, while hearing a batch of anti-quota petitions.

The Governor's notification was subsequently issued on February 26.
