Gujarat students quota ordinance |
The Supreme Court directed the Gujarat government not to disturb the admissions already granted in educational institutions under the controversial ordinance providing a quota for the economically backward among the unreserved category including the agitating Patel community, which has been quashed by the high court. Since Gujarat high court has quashed the notification pertaining to the implementation of the ordinance, no further action can be taken for implementing the quota policy aimed at providing 10% seats in educational institutions and services to economically weaker sections from the general category, during the pendency of the matter before it. A bench, comprising Chief Justice TS Thakur and Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud, admitted the appeal filed by the Gujarat government against the August 4 order of the high court quashing the May 1 ordinance providing 10% quota, terming it as “inappropriate and unconstitutional”
