The full bench had last week commenced hearing on the petitions. On Tuesday, the court said the full bench would be available from Wednesday till summer vacation that is scheduled to begin in May.
The court said it would continue hearing the matter after reopening on June 13.
The petitions challenged the constitutional validity of the Maharashtra State Reservation for Socially and Educationally Backward Classes Act, 2024, under which 10 per cent reservation was granted to the Maratha community in government jobs and education.
As per the petitioners, the Maratha community was not a backward community that requires benefits of reservation.
It also claimed that Maharashtra has already crossed the 50 per cent cap on reservation.&nbsp;
