BENGALURU: The Karnataka High Court on Saturday dismissed petitions requesting reservation for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes, in the governing council of the Advocates Association, Bengaluru (AAB).
Justice R Devdas rejected the petitions filed by the All India Backward Classes Advocates Foundation and the Karnataka SC/ST Backward Classes and Minorities Advocates Federation, advising the petitioners to take their case to the Supreme Court instead.
The petitioners had sought caste-based reservation in AAB’s governing council, citing a recent Apex Court order mandating 30 per cent reservation for women in the body.
