SC reserves verdict after hearing for 7 days the pros and cons of 10% quota for EWS

India Today  

After 7 days of arguments and hearing 20 lawyers, a Supreme Court Constitution Bench on Tuesday reserved its orders on the petitions challenging the validity of the 103rd constitutional amendment, providing for 10% quota to the Economically Weaker Sections. While most petitioners challenged the validity of the 103rd amendment, urging the court to strike it down, the respondent Union Government and some states defended the provision of 10% reservations for the Economically Weaker Sections. Here’s a brief recap of the arguments put forth before the court by both sides: PETITIONERS’ ARGUMENTS -The 103rd Amendment not only violates the equality code but also violates the constitutional vision of social justice and constitutes a fraud on the Constitution. -The 103rd Amendment needs to be struck down for being a militant violation of the basic structure of the Constitution and for turning the equality code upside down.
