The Karnataka Cabinet on Thursday decided to file an appeal before the Supreme Court against the recent order of the High Court of Karnataka that struck down the law to increase reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) beyond the 50% ceiling.

Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara told media persons after the Cabinet meeting that the Cabinet had decided to file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Supreme Court in this regard.
