Supreme Court Halts Calcutta High Court Proceedings on West Bengal OBC List

The Supreme Court has stayed further proceedings at the Calcutta High Court concerning the West Bengal government's preparation of a new Other Backward Classes (OBC) list. A bench led by CJI B.R. Gavai questioned the High Court's "anxiety" to hear the case when the apex court was already seized of the matter. The decision freezes the state-level legal challenge, which arose after the High Court had earlier paused the publication of the revised OBC list.
