SC’s Landmark Quota Ruling: Impetus For A Caste Census? Live | Quota Within Quota | News18 | N18L

In a significant ruling on Thursday, the Supreme Court of India delivered a 6:1 verdict permitting the sub-classification of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) to facilitate separate quotas for the more marginalised members within these backward communities.

The Constitution bench, chaired by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, overturned a 2004 decision which had deemed that state governments lacked the authority to create sub-categories of SCs for the purpose of reservation. Justice Bela Trivedi expressed her dissenting opinion on the matter.

CJI affirmed that implementing a quota within a quota for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) does not compromise quality, emphasising that members of these communities often face systemic discrimination that hinders their upward mobility.

As an young student used to always wondered….why is this ?

  3. Ab maza aayega reservation ka khel dekhane ka, ab samne aayega discrimination within and among SC ST OBC, ab tak to bach jate the general category ko blame karke aur sab malai kha jate the😅

  4. People needing assistance in terms of opportunities or financial assistance will only be based on the economical status & not caste or creed. The bogey raised by the opposition is only for breaking the Hindus into castes to get the votes. Tushar has clearly elaborated this property.
