| Reservation policy not to be implemented until court orders: SC | | | New Delhi, Oct 16 The Supreme Court today said the policy
of reservation, sought to be implemented by the government
providing 27 per cent reservation to the Other Backward Classes
(OBCs) in admission to educational institutions, should not be
enforced until a final decision on the petition, challenging
the policy, was taken by it.
Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium, earlier, told
the court that the Bill on the policy was introduced in
Parliament on August 24, and has been referred to the Standing
Committee as per the procedure and its report was awaited.
Responding to a question on why the implementation of the
government's order be stayed until the final decision of
the court, the ASG said, ''The matter, at present, is in the
domain of Parliament and is likely to be debated in both the Houses
during the forthcoming winter session.''
A Divison Bench comprising Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice
Lokeshwar Singh Panta asked the government, ''You announce the
policy without having the complete data. Your counter-affidavit is
also silent on the issue of exclusion of the creamy layer from the
policy of reservation. You played a game first and frame rules
thereafter.''
