This is a historic decision by the bench of Supreme Court. Only one Judge has opposed the sub- classification. This issue has been pending for long time. Now the state Governments can take the decision on reservation.<\/p>\n
Today, a seven-judge Constitution bench of the Supreme Court okayed sub-classification within Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe categories to provide reservation in jobs and education for the more marginalised among backward communities.<\/p>\n
The landmark verdict was passed by the bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud by a 6:1 majority, with Justice Bela Trivedi dissenting. Six separate judgments were written. The verdict overrules the 2004 judgment of a five-judge Constitution bench in the case of EV Chinnaiah vs State of Andhra Pradesh.<\/p>\n
The top court ruled that Scheduled Castes are not a homogenous group, and state governments can sub-classify them to give more weight to 15 percent of the reservation to communities that suffered more discrimination among the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.<\/p>\n
But the Malas are opposing the SC categorisation in general supported by some political parties. The central Government is not opposed to the said categorisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
