The Supreme Court of India on April 13 has made some strong observations against the manner in which the Karnataka Government scrapped the 4 per cent OBC quota for Muslims and placed them under the category of Economically Weaker Section (EWS).
4 Per Cent OBC Quota For Muslims
The Supreme Court stated the foundation of the decision-making process is “highly shaky and flawed”.
It is mentioned the Karnataka Government undertook before the apex court that no admission or appointments will be made till April 18 on the basis of March 27 government order (GO).
In this regard, a bench of Justices K.M. Joseph and B.V. Nagarathna told Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, ”Prima facie, we are telling you, the first thing is that the order which you have passed… appears to suggest that foundation of decision making process is highly shaky and flawed… it is on an interim report, the state could have waited for a final report that is one aspect. What is the great urgency?”
Meanwhile, Tushar Mehta remarked that the court should allow the state government to file its reply in the matter and the admissions will begin in May.
