The two-judge bench said that competitive examinations do not reflect social, economic & cultural advantages that accrue to certain classes & merit should be socially contextualized.
SC order paves way for counselling of prospective candidates for medical courses to resume with 27% quota for OBC & 10% for EWS categories, ending months of protests by resident doctors.
A two-judge bench upholds the validity of Centre’s July 2021 notification to allow 27% reservation for OBCs (non-creamy layer). The court will rule on EWS quota later in March.
Govt-appointed panel suggested sticking to Rs 8 lakh annual income limit for determination of EWS quota in connection with the ongoing admissions to NEET-PG courses.
A bench of CJI N V Ramana and justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli took note of the submissions of Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who appeared in the court on behalf of the Centre.
The matter at present is listed for hearing on 6 January. The NEET-PG admissions were postponed after the central government decided to revisit the EWS quota.
In his letter, Kejriwal said the prime minister must accept the demands of the protesting doctors and urged him to ensure that NEET-PG counselling process is expedited.
