In
the wake of petitions filed by Shiv Khera and
advocate Ashok Kumar Thakur claiming that
government's quota policy would divide the
country on the basis of caste, Supreme Court’s
timely intervention in the polemic quota system
is highly commendable. The need of the hour as
it was, everybody, whether anti or pro-
reservation people must appreciate and welcome
this long awaited action from the core of the
heart. Unlike two other pillars of county’s
democracy, the judiciary has always proved that
they do care for the interest of the common
people.
I am very glad that SC has put up three cardinal
points - basis for granting 27% reservation for
OBCs in govt. and higher educational
institutions, statistical data of OBCs for
availing this policy and govt. modalities for
implementation of reservation for the
justification of implementing the proposed
reservation. With the intention of putting an
end to the ongoing stalemate throughout the
country, SC while taking up this matter, has
asked the govt. to justify the criteria for
identifying particular categories as OBCs on the
one hand, it has also appealed to the striking
doctors and students to drop their agitations in
the public interest. Hope SC comes up with the
ultimate solution of this problem to the
satisfaction of all.
