These pages are about the history of the Maratha community and the state feels that it may create communal tension and law and order problems,&#8221; he had said.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the government submitted the entire report to the bench which said it would peruse and decide.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have gone through the entire report.
