Reservation in jobs and education provided by the state government to the Maratha community was quashed by the Supreme Court in May 2021, citing the 50 percent ceiling on total reservations among other grounds.

The five-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court had in May 2021 struck down Maratha reservation for having breached the 50 per cent ceiling as specified in the Indra Sawhney judgement in 1992.
The government would also ensure its initiatives are properly conveyed to the Maratha organisations and its leaders.
