Hearing the Maratha quota matter, the Supreme Court is likely to revisit the landmark 1992 Indra Sawhney judgment that capped vertical reservation at 50%.
The panel was formed in October 2017 to examine the sub-categorisation of OBCs, a demand that seeks to bridge the gap in the distribution of quota benefits.

Apart from raising the creamy layer ceiling, the proposal also calls for including the salary in calculating the gross annual income of an OBC household.
