Recommendation to the Central Government to relax the limit of fifty per cent for Maratha reservation: Resolution passed in the Legislature.
A resolution was passed in both the Houses of the Legislative Assembly to recommend to the Central Government to make appropriate amendments to the Constitution of India to remove the impediment of fifty per cent reservation limit for granting reservation to the Maratha community from socially and educationally backward classes. Ashok Chavan, Minister for Public Works and Chairman of the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Maratha Reservation, moved the resolution in the Assembly and the Legislative Council. 
The Maharashtra Act No. 62 of the Maharashtra State Socially and Educationally Backward (SEBC) Class (Reservation of Admissions in Educational Institutions and Appointments or Posts in State Controlled Public Service) Act 2018 (passed by the Supreme Court of India on May 5, 2021). ) Section 2 (j), Section 4 (1) (c) and Section 4 (1) (b) of the judgment have ruled that the 50 per cent reservation limit mentioned in the judgment cannot be exceeded.
It is impossible to give socially and educationally backward class reservations to the Maratha community in our state without the central government relaxing the fifty per cent reservation limit by making appropriate amendments to the Constitution of India. Also, in order to give reservation to the Maratha community in our state, it is necessary to remove the obstacle of a fifty per cent reservation limit and the Central Government needs to make appropriate constitutional provisions in this regard immediately.
Accordingly, a resolution was passed in the Legislature recommending that the Central Government should make appropriate amendments to the Constitution of India to give reservations to the Maratha community by relaxing the limit of fifty per cent fixed in the judgments of the courts.
