The bench with seven judges headed by the then chief judge of India Dy Chandrachud decided whether the SCS and STS subdrasification is admissible for the purposes of reservation.
The decision had consequences for states, such as Telangana, which wanted to provide wider protection by some castes that are insufficiently represented despite the evidence compared to the so -called dominant planned castes. The court also ruled that “historical and empirical evidence suggests that planned castes are not a homogeneous class.”
Address Historical inequalities: Experts
The Congress Government has taken into account the content of the Supreme Court judgment, empirical data, social, economic, educational, employment and political status of SC communities in categorizing SCS into three groups to make the reservation rule.
Experts stated that the state’s decision to podklasification 59 planned caste (SCS) to three groups means a key moment in Indian discourse with a positive action action.
“It seems that the purpose of the decision is to solve historical inequalities within marginalized groups, so the advantage of reservation should not be monopolized by certain categories in a certain group of caste groups,” said PROFROZ Alam, head of the Ministry of Political Sciences, Maulan Azad National Urdu University, Mind University.
Political motifs
This step also has a political motive. Alam said that the Congress Government led by CM Reddy was trying to consolidate more reverse classes (OVC) and SC voters in front of the local elections in the state. Obc and SCS make up 70 % of Telangany voters.
Telangana also recently decided to increase the quota of the municipality to 42 percent. This step, however, challenges the 50 % cap quota of the Supreme Court established in the verdict of Indra Sawhney (1992), reaffirmed in 2021, when the Maratha quota law was abolished.
