Plea in SC against HC order staying quota for Jats

A Haryana-based body of Jat community yesterday moved the Supreme Court challenging an interim order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court staying the recent provisions granting quota to Jats and five other castes under the newly-carved Backward Classes (C) category. 

The plea, which may come up for hearing before the apex court in a day or two, has



sought an interim stay on the order passed by the High Court.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court, on May 26, had stayed the reservation for Jats and five other communities while hearing a plea challenging the constitutional validity of the Haryana Backward Classes (reservation in services and admission in educational institutions) Act 2016.
