The bench was hearing a bunch of petitions challenging the law passed by the Maharashtra Legislature granting 10 percent reservation to the Maratha community.
On Tuesday, the petitioners sought a stay on the implementation of the Act, pending a final hearing decision in the petitions.
The court said before granting any interim stay it has to hear all the parties.
“It is not a simple administrative order. It is a legislation. Hence, we have to keep in mind the principles laid down while hearing pleas challenging constitutional validity of the legislation. There is a principle of presumed constitutionality. This is a legislative enactment, we will have to give due weightage to all arguments,” the bench noted.
