New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday quashed a Calcutta High Court interim order that stopped implementation of 27 per cent OBC quotas in post-graduate courses, including the ones in the Indian Institutes of Management.

The Calcutta High Court was hearing a plea challenging OBC quotas in post-graduate courses by a student who is to appear for an interview for admission to the IIM-C.

"The Central government request to this extent that no HC in India can interfere with 27 per cent OBC matter was rejected. SC refused to pass a blanket order restraining or fetterinng HC in India," said SC lawyer, M L Lahoti.

Following the stay, all admission procedures in IIM-Calcutta were put on hold. But on Thursday, the Central government appealed to Supreme Court seeking a vacation on the stay.

The apex court’s ruling comes as a relief for MBA aspirants. The Court in its observation also said admissions to post-graduate courses in Central educational Institutions will be provisional and will be subject to the outcome of the final order in the matter, pending before it.

The court also stayed all proceedings relating to OBC quota that are pending in the High Courts of Delhi, Calcutta and Bombay.

It also issued notice to those petitioners opposing the implementation of government memorandum in different High Courts on Centre's petition seeking transfer of those matters

to the apex court.
