Maharashtra正式取消2014年的穆斯林保留, Maharashtra officially cancels its 2014 Muslim reservation, though it was never legally effective.

马哈拉施特拉邦政府已正式取消其2014年命令,允许穆斯林在政府工作和教育方面保留5%的名额,尽管该政策已在法律上无效十多年。 The Maharashtra government has formally canceled its 2014 order granting a 5% reservation to Muslims in government jobs and education, though the policy had been legally invalid for over a decade. 通过2014年7月的一项法令引入,该保留于2014年11月被孟买高等法院搁置,并于2014年12月到期,当时邦立法机构未能将保留通过为法律。 Introduced via an ordinance in July 2014, the reservation was stayed by the Mumbai High Court in November 2014 and expired in December 2014 when the state legislature failed to pass it into law. 最高法院后来维持了高等法院的裁决,使得配额无法实行。 The Supreme Court later upheld the high court’s decision, rendering the quota inoperative. 尽管如此,政府直到2026年2月18日才正式撤销原决议。 Despite this, the government had not formally revoked the original resolution until February 18, 2026. 新命令宣布所有相关决定、证书和通信无效,停止今后发放这一类的种姓证书。 The new order declares all related decisions, certificates, and communications void, halting future issuance of caste certificates under the category. 这一举动基本上是象征性的,因为保留从未生效。 The move is largely symbolic, as the reservation never took effect.
