Sc St Quota Verdict

A bandh to protest the Supreme Court's 'quota within a quota' decision about quota in state government jobs and colleges for SC and ST candidates was held in parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and other states Wednesday.

The Supreme Court today held that its 2004 verdict holding that states do not have the power to further sub-classify the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, for grant of quotas in jobs and admissions to educational institutions, needs to be revisited.

The Centre today urged the Supreme Court that its 2018 verdict excluding the creamy layer within the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes or SC/ST communities from reservation benefits be referred to a seven-judge bench for review.

The BSP is set to make Supreme Court verdict on reservation in promotions to SC/ST government employees an election issue and expose what it called the "anti-Dalit stance of the ruling BJP".

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the 2006 Nagaraj verdict giving quota benefits in job promotions for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes need not be referred to a seven-judge constitution bench. The unanimous judgement was pronounced by a five-judge Constitution bench.
