IndiaThe Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in West Bengal has withdrawn its appeal to the Supreme Court against a Calcutta High Court decision that removed 77 Muslim communities from the state's Other Backward Classes (OBC) list. The appeal was initially filed by the outgoing Trinamool Congress government, which lost power in the state's May Assembly elections. The State Backward Classes Commission also withdrew its separate appeal. The Supreme Court allowed the withdrawal but noted that its order does not bar others from challenging the High Court's verdict. Previously, the OBC list included 113 sub-groups, with 77 being Muslim. In May 2024, the High Court reduced OBC reservations to 7% from 17%. On June 29, the West Bengal Assembly passed two bills to amend OBC reservation laws and remove the affected Muslim communities as per the High Court's directive.
