A day after the Bombay High Court upheld the Maharashtra government’s decision to provide reservation to the Maratha community under Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act, a social worker filed a caveat before the Supreme Court anticipating a challenge to the verdict. Vinod Patil, a Maratha leader and a social worker, is one of the several interveners supporting the reservation. A caveat is a form of application is filed by a person, informing the court that another person may file a suit or application against him and that the court must give the person filing the caveat a fair hearing before deciding any matter.
