Madras HC quashes 10.5% Vanniyar quota
Madurai:02.11 2021
The Madras high court on Monday quashed the 10.5% reservation provided to Vanniyars, a Most Backward Community (MBC) in Tamil Nadu, in government jobs and admission to educational institutions, saying it was unconstitutional.
The Tamil Nadu assembly had in February passed the then ruling AIADMK-piloted bill providing internal reservation of 10.5 % for Vanniyars, with the incumbent DMK government issuing an order in July for its implementation. It had split the aggregate 20% reservation for MBCs and denotified communities into three separate categories by regrouping castes and provided 10% plus sub-quota for Vanniyars, formally known as Vanniakula Kshatriyas.
