Supreme Court upholds EWS quota: ‘Doesn’t violate basic structure of Constitution'

Hindustan Times  

The Supreme Court India on Monday backed the 10% EWS quota introduced by the central government, which provides reservation in education and jobs to people belonging to economically weaker sections. SC upholds 10% EWS quota for jobs and education A five-bench Constitution bench of the Supreme Court delivered the judgement backing EWS reservation by a 3:2 majority view. The Constitution bench of the top court lead by Chief Justice of India Uday Umesh Lalit that includes justices Dinesh Maheshwari, S Ravindra Bhat, Bela M Trivedi, and J B Pardiwala, on September 27 reserved the verdict on legality of the EWS quota after hearing a bunch of plea that have challenged the validity of the 103rd Constitution amendment that paved the way for 10% reservation to economically weaker sections in jobs and admissions. The Supreme Court had framed three broad issues for its judgement: Whether the 103rd Constitution amendment Act for implementing EWS quota breaches the basic structure of the Constitution by permitting the State to make special provisions, including reservation, based on economic criteria; by permitting it to make special provisions for admissions to private unaided institutions; and whether the amendment breaches the basic structure of the Constitution by excluding the SEBCs/OBCs, SCs/STs from EWS reservation.
