Karnataka Muslim Reservation | SC Adjourns Hearing to May 9, Records SG’s Assurance that Earlier Regime Would Continue Till Then

Live Law  

The Supreme Court of India on Tuesday adjourned to May 9, the hearing in a petition challenging the Karnataka government’s decision to scrap an almost three-decade-old four per cent reservation provided to Muslims in the Other Backward Classes category in the state. Notably, the bench also noted an assurance by the Solicitor-General for India, Tushar Mehta, that the earlier regime relating to the Muslim quota would continue to ‘hold the field’ till the next date of hearing. He explained, “When I say the impugned order will not be implemented, it means that the old order will continue.” Satisfied with this response, Justice Joseph proceeded to pronounce, “The solicitor-general has assured that the earlier submission will continue till the next date of hearing.” Before directing the matter to be listed on Tuesday, May 9, the bench recorded both the statements that the impugned orders shall not be implemented till the next date, and that the earlier regime related to Muslim reservation as per a 2002 notification would continue to hold the field in the meantime. The contentious announcement to scrap the four per cent Muslim quota was made by the Karnataka government immediately after a division bench of the Karnataka High Court vacated a January status quo order, by which it had directed the state government to not act on an interim report of the Karnataka State Commission for Backward Classes with regard to the demand for inclusion of Panchamasali Lingayat sub-sect in Category II.
