Supreme Court rejects petitions seeking review of EWS quota judgment

The Supreme Court has dismissed petitions seeking a review of a November 2022 majority judgment by a Constitution Bench, which upheld the validity of 10% quota for the ‘economically weaker sections’ of society. A majority of three judges on the Constitution Bench in November last year had held that the 10% EWS quota to the “poorest of poor” among forward castes did not pose any danger to the basic structure of the Constitution. The review pleas had argued that the judgment had re-written the settled law laid down by a nine-judge Bench of the Supreme Court which froze reservation at 50%, leaving the remaining half to meritorious candidates. The DMK petition said the 103rd Constitutional Amendment which introduced the 10% EWS quota into the Constitution “has given them a mask to hide behind the misleading term of ‘economically weaker sections’”.
