The Chennai High Court last year directed the Center to set up a committee to decide on the allocation of seats for OBCs in All India quota seats in medical courses. The bench, headed by Chief Justice Sanjeev Banerjee, heard a contempt of court case filed by the DMK alleging that it had not taken action to enforce the order.

At the Central Government, it was informed that the committee was appointed on the basis of the High Court order and on the basis of its recommendation the order was issued allocating 27% reservation to the OBC section. It was explained that the 10% reservation for the economically backward upper class would have no effect on the OBCs and had nothing to do with it.

The High Court recently ruled in this case that the 10% reservation for the economically backward advanced class is more than 50 per cent of the total reservation amount and that reservation is not permissible without the approval of the Supreme Court. Subsequently, the Central Government appealed to the Supreme Court against the judgment of the Chennai High Court. The case was heard by Justices DY Chandrasooty and PV Nagaratna.

Following this, the judges said, “The judgment of the Chennai High Court that the 10 per cent reservation for the economically backward and advanced class cannot be followed without the permission of the Supreme Court is contrary to what was demanded before that court. Therefore, we quash only part of the judgment of the High Court in this regard.
