Karnataka to explore legal options to challenge High Court verdict striking down reservation enhancement

Karnataka government plans to pursue legal avenues after the High Court invalidated a reservation‑enhancement law introduced by the former BJP administration. Congress officials criticized the swift enactment ahead of the 2023 assembly elections, while the Veerashaiva Mahasabha praised the court’s decision. The ruling could reshape affirmative‑action policies in the state and could affect future electoral dynamics.
