The Supreme Court on Friday set-aside the observations in the Madras High Court's order which said that the reservation for Economically Weaker Sections in the NEET-All India Quota can be implemented only with the approval of the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court that is examining the correctness of the 103rd Constitutional Amendment which provided for economic reservations. The bench said that the Madras High Court was considering a contempt petition seeking implementation of OBC reservation in NEET-AIQ, and hence the observations on 10% EWS quota amounted to a transgression of its jurisdiction. The Supreme Court was considering a special leave petition filed by the Union Government against the Madras High Court's observations on EWS quota.
