No breach of 50% ceiling to give more reservation, says five-judge bench of the #SupremeCourt as it refuses to consider reviewing Indra Sawhney verdict of 1992.
#SupremeCourt also quashes Maratha reservation in so far it breaches 50% ceiling of reservation. It violates equality, rules SC. 2018 state law is nixed.
The five-judge bench also upheld validity of the 102nd constitutional amendment & rules that the Central Govt alone has the power to determine socially & educationally backward classes (SEBCs). States can't have a separate list of SEBCs & @rashtrapatibhvn alone has the authority.
The interpretation of 102nd constitutional amendment is by a majority of 3:2.
Justices Ashok Bhushan & SA Nazeer agreed with Centre that states could still have a separate list of SEBCs but Justices LN Rao, Hemant Gupta & S Ravindra Bhat disagreed. However, all upheld amendment.
