IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION PUBLIC INTEREST LITIGATION NO.18 OF 2010 Indrajeet Vasantrao Suryavanshi ... Petitioner Versus State of Maharashtra and others. ... Respondents Mr.Raghavan Sarathy i/by M/s. Thodur Law Associates for the petitioner. CORAM : J.N. PATEL, ACTING C.J. & B.R. GAVAI, J. DATED : 4TH FEBRUARY, 2010 P.C. The petitioner has filed the present PIL seeking writ directing the respondents to pursue the matter of granting O.B.C. reservation to the Maratha Community/Caste within the State of Maharashtra. As held by the Apex Court in the case of Indra Sawhney v. Union of India and others, reported in 1993 SC, 477, it is for the State to consider which backward communities are to be given the benefit of reservation of backward classes. 2. Since the matter is exclusively within the domain of executive, we do not find that a case is made out for grant of any such writ as prayed for. The PIL is, therefore, without any merit and as such dismissed. ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE B.R. GAVAI, J.
