- The 102nd Amendment Act, 2018, which granted constitutional status to the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) and inserted Articles 338B and 342A, was interpreted by the Supreme Court (in the Maratha reservation case, Jaishri Laxmanrao Patil vs Union of India, 2021) to mean that only the Central Government could notify the list of SEBCs under Article 342A, thereby taking away the power of states to maintain their own lists. - To nullify this interpretation and restore states' power, the Parliament passed The Constitution (One Hundred and Fifth Amendment) Act, 2021, which amended Articles 338B and 342A and inserted clause (3) in Article 366, clarifying that the state governments are empowered to identify and list SEBCs for their own purposes.
