Live Law  

In a plea opposing inclusion of Panchamasali Lingayat sub-sect in reservation quota available to Category 2A, the Karnataka High Court on Monday directed that the petitioner be provided State Backward Classes Commission's interim report on the subject. A division bench of Chief Justice Prasanna B Varale and Justice M G S Kamal ordered its court officer to provide a copy of the interim report to petitioner Raghavendra DG and the Advocate General. In January, the High Court had directed the State government to not act on the Commission's interim report. Kumar has also contended that the concept of interim report does not find a mention in the statutory scheme under Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes Act, 1995.
