Amid the stir between the government and the Maratha morcha activists, the Bombay High Court on Thursday dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by an advocate against the Maharashtra government's decision. The PIL was filed by an advocate against the government for issuing Kunbi caste certificates to Maratha community members for reservation, noting that the petitioner was not an aggrieved person.

As reported by news agency PTI, a bench of Chief Justice Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad noted that aggrieved persons (people from the Other Backward Classes category) have already filed petitions in the HC, which will be heard by another bench on September 22.
