PTI, July 14, 2026, New Delhi: In a significant development, the West Bengal government and the State Backward Classes Commission on Tuesday withdrew their separate pleas from the Supreme Court against a Calcutta High Court judgment striking down the inclusion of 77 castes, including 75 Muslim communities, in the state's OBC list.
The pleas were filed against the High Court verdict during the previous government led by Mamata Banerjee.
A Bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana was told by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the state, that the government wanted to withdraw its petition.
The top law officer said that the West Bengal Cabinet had taken a decision to withdraw the appeal.
