Supreme Court of India rejects reservation for Mulsims

[explorer9]

NEW DELHI: In a setback for the Union government, the Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to stay Andhra Pradesh high court order quashing 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities in central educational institutions, including in IITs this year.

The SC said the government's decision to implement 4.5% sub quota from January this year did not prima facie appear to be supported by constitutional provisions.

"We are not inclined to grant stay," a bench comprising justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar said while issuing notices to the petitioner on whose PIL the high court had quashed the 4.5 percent sub-quota for minorities.

It further said that the December 22, 2011 office memorandum on the issue of sub-quota did not have the legislative support.

The apex court said, unlike the 27% reservation to OBCs in central educational institutions, the carving of 4.5% sub-quota is not supported by even a law.

The SC said it appears that the carving out of 4.5% sub-quota was purely based on religious considerations.

With today's apex court decision, the OBC students will get an additional 443 seats in IITs, which were kept aside for Muslims under 4.5% sub-quota.

Wednesday is the last of counselling for IIT admissions and the government ended up disappointed being not able to push through the sub-quota in IITs.

OBC, Scheduled cast, Backwardness of Muslims in India are genuine issues of our socio-cultural fabric and that need to be addressed properly, we cannot shy away from these issues if we want India to be a power to recon.Socio-economic devolopment of deprived regions and deprived sections of the society is equally important as science-tech & military developments.

How does one justify religion based reservations??? Give the poor reservation irrespective of their religion caste creed.

But hey the poor don't vote as poor do they?

This law is in direct confrontation with the constitution, which says, all people are equal irrespective of religion !!
In 1950's, when muslim reservation was taken up by remaining indian union muslim league members, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, clearly told them, that it was reservation issue that divided the country and he wont allow such reservation issues again in this country!!
The UPA govt is trying to change the policies of Sardar patel, who is in real sense, Iron man of india!

Reservations in states ok, based on economic backwardness, but not on religious lines...
Already reservation in IITs have reduced the pass percentage of students studying in IIT.. And medical collages are too facing this problems...
They can implement them except in premier institutions..

Supreme Court should have rejected whole reservation system before, for everyone.
Only a begger can take advantage of reservation and will seek respect from society.
Indian muslim should thank supreme courts order, for not including muslim into that dalit lists..
Welcome, to the world of hardworking people.. Where an individual is known for his hard work not for his high position gained using reservation..

If cast based reservation becomes norm then God save this country ..
Only economic help for education and other sector is ok but dividing people on religious lines is very bad ..
Recognise poor family and give them as much benefit as you can ...no one will object ..

Reservation based on income is better for the country and people.

Have you read the judgement, it has explanation of why it was denied. Reservation is given based on analysis of data available, the government of India could not provide any data on the basis of which reservation has to be granted.

The supreme court also said that if government provides the data they are ready to consider the plea.

Just because it is for Muslim does not mean that no process should be followed.
