Centre seeks recall of SC order de-notifying OBC seats ahead of Madhya Pradesh local body polls

The center has requested the revocation of the Supreme Court’s Dec. 17 order that made empirical data a necessary condition for other backward class (OBC) quotas in local agencies. It has asked the court to suspend the election of local institutions in Madhya Pradesh for four months and cancel the reserved OBC seats according to the order. The center recommended that the state’s backward shift committee submit a report during the suspension period in accordance with the court’s previous quota order. The process will involve setting up an independent committee to prepare seat-by-seat data on OBC’s lagging behind, and allocating quotas at each assembly stage, while ensuring that the total booking volume does not exceed the 50% limit.

After Madhya Pradesh made a similar request earlier last week, the center submitted a recall request on Sunday. It is expected to be heard after the court reopens on January 3.

In another application, the Federal Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment also sought to be prosecuted in court proceedings. The ministry stated that the Dec. 17 order had pan-Indian influence and deprived the OBC of the political representation guaranteed by the Constitution.

The challenged order was passed without hearing the opinion of the center.

The center stated in its request: “The promotion of scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, and other backward classes has always been the top priority of the federal government. The lack of representation of OBC in any local self-government government violates its goals, intentions and decentralization and governance. The purpose of bringing the idea to the grassroots level.” It added that the issues raised in this petition have important public significance and have pan-Indian implications for the implementation of OBC reservations in elections across the country.

While the election process in Madhya Pradesh was proceeding to allocate seats to the OBC, the court issued an order. The court instructed to re-notify these seats as general category seats.

The center believes that any intervention at this stage will cause the OBC community to lose the five-year quota. In addition, five years is not a short period of time, and it will cause “serious prejudice against backward class citizens.”

As a temporary solution, the center proposed to suspend the electoral process and also asked the committee to submit a report within three months. “Till such time, the administrator can function who can hand over the charge to the newly elected person/body who will be elected with the provision of OBC reservation,” the application said.

The Supreme Court’s decision provides for a triple test of quotas in the K Krishnamurthy case (2010) and Vikas Kishanrao Gawli (2021).

Amitabh Bachchan: Candid Self-Doubt Confession

Even after five decades of cinematic dominance, Amitabh Bachchan still faces the quiet terrors of the midnight hour. The man who epitomised alpha-masculinity for generations of moviegoers recently made an unexpected confession that shocked his millions of admirers. He continues to have restless nights, locked in a vicious circle of intense self-doubt and crushing work stress.

This revelation is a huge wake-up call for anyone who thinks of him as an invincible acting colossus. It demonstrates that the heavy weight of perfectionism never fully fades, no matter how much celebrity you achieve.

The Haunting Midnight Echoes of Perfectionism

Imagine being a living legend and lying awake at 3 a.m. wondering if your previous performance was a complete failure. Bachchan admitted that he always repeats his sequences in his memory, haunted by the terrible feeling that they “could have been done better.”

This tremendous emotional sensitivity reveals a side of the megastar that the public has rarely seen. Onscreen, we witness the towering demeanour, booming baritone voice, and perfect delivery. But, behind closed doors, he suffers from the same paralysing fear that ordinary people face on a daily basis in the workplace.

Why the Deepest Passion Breeds Internal Chaos

You might ask why a man who has won every major film award is so concerned about delivering a single sentence. True genius is rarely characterised by serenity of mind. For Bachchan, acting is more than a job; it is a sacred, consuming fire that demands flawless excellence every time.

When you care so deeply about your craft, every creative endeavour feels like a high-stakes bet on your entire legacy. This tremendous artistic drive is a two-edged blade that produces amazing art while completely destroying your mental serenity.

The Heavy Price of an Enduring Legacy

Living under the microscope of the public eye for fifty years has a catastrophic psychological impact. Every move Amitabh Bachchan makes is immediately analysed, criticised, or worshipped by countless millions of people.

That amount of tremendous expectation establishes a distinct, invisible prison of performance anxiety. The dreadful anxiety of disappointing his big audience keeps his thoughts racing long after the cameras stop rolling. It turns out that the view from the very top of the mountain is extremely lonely and filled with perpetual emotional danger.

Normalizing the Silent Struggle with Mental Health

Bachchan has done an incredible amount to raise worldwide mental health awareness by publicly exposing his personal struggles with work stress. He has effectively removed the heavy veil of shame that typically surrounds the topic of anxiety, particularly among older generations.

If the ultimate “Angry Young Man” of Indian cinema can freely acknowledge to feeling inadequate, then everyone else has the right to be human as well. It is a welcome reminder that being overburdened by your commitments does not imply weakness.

The Relentless Creative Hunger That Never Sleeps

Finally, this severe self-doubt is the secret fuel that drives Amitabh Bachchan to labour continuously at an age when most people have retired. It’s a curious paradox: his severe inner agony serves as the driving reason behind his legendary longevity.

He refuses to rest on his past accomplishments or rely on his immense celebrity to get by. Every sleepless night reveals a man with the raw, eager heart of a novice. He remains gloriously, devastatingly uneasy about his work, which is precisely what makes him an everlasting force in film.
