‘Should Children Of IAS-IPS Officers Continue To Get Reservation Benefits?’ Justice BR Gavai Asks As Supreme Court
On Tuesday (6th February), the Supreme Court stated that people in the backward castes who were eligible for reservation and have benefited from it should move out from the reserved category to allow others who remained backward to benefit from affirmative action. On Tuesday, the Constitution bench, which consisted of Chief Justice of Indian DY Chandrachud and justices BR Gavai, Vikram Nath, Bela M Trivedi, Pankaj Mithal, Manoj Misra, and Satish Chandra Sharma, began the hearing on the permissibility of subclassification within the SC/ST reservation, making some significant remarks about the purpose of reservation for marginalised groups and the need for administrative efficiency. Punjab’s advocate general Gurminder Singh and the state’s additional advocate general Shadan Farasat argued in favour of subclassification within SC/ST reservations.
