The Supreme Court on Wednesday said during a talk on the reservation case that the government should review these things again. It is not in any way good to continue working on the old list of scheduled castes, scheduled and socially and educationally backward classes to provide reservation. The government should now revise such a list because the people who were placed in this list 70 years ago have now been completed in every way. Due to such people, now the real benefit of reservation is not reaching those who need it in today's time.
Only those who got the benefit are being taken benefits, the rest are waiting for it. Due to this, dissatisfaction is spreading among other people of reserved category. The court said that all such people included in the reserved list should get the benefit of it, it is up to the local governments to decide. It states that there is dissatisfaction within the reserved category which can be satisfied by revising the list.
The court gave its ruling while hearing a case filed in 2000. In fact, the Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down the January 2000 order of the erstwhile state of Andhra Pradesh, which provided 100 percent reservation to Scheduled Tribe candidates for the post of teachers in schools in scheduled areas, stating that it "Arbitrary" and "not allowed" "under the Constitution.
A five-judge constitution bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra said that providing 100 percent reservation would be "unfair" and no law says that only tribal teachers can teach in scheduled areas. Referring to the 1992 judgment of Indra Sawhney, this judgment was delivered. The Supreme Court emphasized that the founding fathers never envisaged reservation for all seats and that 50 percent quota would be the rule. It was noted that as per the 1992 judgment, extreme caution is required and special cases have to be made for the limit of reservation beyond 50 percent.
