HC seeks govt’s response on plea challenging reservation policy

Hindustan Times  

Jammu and Kashmir high court, acting on a fresh petition challenging the reservation policy, has issued notice to the respondents asking for reply within a time frame of three weeks. The fresh petition, filed by Dawar Ali and supported by a civil society group, has questioned the reservation policy of J&K government calling it “unreasonable”. On November 27, a political science professor Zahoor Ahmad Bhat had approached the HC against the reservation policy, which he said gives “70℅ share to reserved categories and only 30% share to open merit candidates” in government jobs and admission to education institutions. Former J&K chief minister and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti demanded implementation of SRO 49 of the JK Reservation Act, for NEET PG seats which puts open merit seats at 75%.
