The Calcutta High Court invalidated all OBC certificates issued in West Bengal since 2010, declaring sections of the 2012 Act unconstitutional. The court ordered a new OBC list based on the 1993 Act. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee rejected the verdict, accusing the BJP of political interference and pledging to continue OBC reservations. The ruling will not affect those already benefiting from OBC status. The decision impacts OBC certificates issued between 2010 and 2024, necessitating a reassessment of eligibility.
