High Court Expectation: Justice for Marathas in Reservation Dispute

Jarange expressed his hope that the High Court would deliver justice for the Marathas, stating that they were adhering to all court rules. He mentioned that there were 4,000 to 5,000 protesters and offered to provide accommodation if needed. He also accused CM Fadnavis of providing false information to the High Court and said the CM would have to pay the price. The government should issue a government order to declare Marathas as Kunbis, explicitly implementing the Hyderabad and Satara gazetteers. Jarange demanded the immediate implementation of the notification extending OBC quota benefits to the ‘Rishi-Soyare’ (blood relatives) of the eligible Maratha community. At Azad Maidan, Manoj Jarange urged his supporters to avoid actions that would inconvenience the public. He stated that the railway administration was assisting them and advised them to rest at railway stations without causing disruption. He instructed his group to relocate from near CST and consult with the police to find an alternate location in a ground. The High Court ordered the removal of old documents and materials from all roads by evening. Traffic congestion continues outside Azad Maidan.
