Apex court junks Madras HC ruling on EWS quota in all-India med edu seats
TOI 25.09.2021
The Supreme Court on Friday quashed the Madras high court order directing the Centre to first get approval of the top court before implementing 10% reservation for Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in All-India Quota for medical admissions and said that the HC erred by passing the order while adjudicating a contempt petition of DMK on OBC reservations, reports Amit Anand Choudhary.
A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and B V Nagarathna said the HC order was “unnecessary” and was “alien” to the subject matter it was adjudicating upon and made it clear that it was not passing the order on the merit of the case and also not expressing any view on reservation policy. The bench, however, agreed to examine a batch of petitions against the Centre’s decision to extend 27% reservation for OBCs and 10% for EWS category in PG medical admissions and asked the government to file its response to decide on the plea for interim stay of the policy as pleaded by a group of MBBS doctors aspiring to pursue higher education.
