NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a petition seeking a stay of Rajasthan government's decision to implement 5% quota for Gujjar and four other communities.

A bench headed by CJI Ranjan Gogoi refused to interfere in the issue.

In February this year, the state government had introduced a bill in the assembly to give a five per cent quota in jobs and educational institutes to Gujjar and four other communities agitating for it.

Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsla and his supporters had blocked the railway tracks in Sawai Madhopur district and several highways, demanding the quota in government jobs and educational institutes.
