ASG Anil Singh for Centre

Sr Adv Seervai -The earlier bench of this court stayed a rule which was much less chilling. Once content is there, after the publication of the notification..there can be a retrospective effect.I can be cherry picked

This rule strikes at the heart.

Think of the cartoons on VP Singh during the Mandal Commission, or Arjun Singh during the introduction of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) quota. #kunalkamra
