The Supreme Court on Monday said that it will hear the Maharashtra Government's plea on Wednesday (January 19), seeking to recall its order to notify 27 per cent of OBC seats as general seats for local body elections.

A Bench headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar posted the hearing for Wednesday after the counsel appearing for Maharashtra said that the government has filed a petition urging the apex court to recall its December 15 order. "We have filed an application seeking a recall of the order dated December 15. Can it be taken up on Friday or Wednesday? The application has been filed today," Maharashtra's counsel told the Bench.
