Air Date: 13 Jun 2012

Description: Are you trying to provide reservation on the basis of religion? It was the Centre's inability to answer this question that lead the Supreme Court to stay the Andhra Pradesh High Court order that had quashed a separate 4.5 % sub quota for minorities under the 27% OBC quota. The Centre govt failed to clarify to the Supreme Court, to which minority group, and on what basis, the 4.5% sub quota for minorities was being allotted. The Centre had filed the Sachar Committee and Ranganath Mishra committee report but the SC said this meant carving reservations on lines of religion. The order also means that in admissions to the IITs, about 300 students will have to seek admissions under the 27% OBC quota. Are you trying to provide reservation on the basis of religion?
