The five-Judge Constitution Bench of the Apex Court, comprising then Chief Justice of India (CJI) U.U. Lalit, Justice Dinesh Maheshwari, Justice S. Ravindra Bhat, Justice Bela M Trivedi and Justice J.B. Pardiwala had retained the 10 percent reservation to EWS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Justice Maheshwari, Justice Trivedi and Justice Pardiwala agreed to uphold the validity of the 103rd Constitutional Amendment, Justice Bhat refused to agree with the majority verdict and dissented on exclusion of SC\/ST from 10 percent quota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then CJI Lalit agreed with Justice Bhat in the dissent. So, it was 3-2. But the EWS quota law was still upheld in view of the majority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The review petition filed by Professor Mohan Gopal contended that the majority decisions rest on the mistaken assumption that EWS was structured solely on economic criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The All India Backward Classes Federation has challenged the Supreme Court<\/a> majority verdict of November 7 that upheld the validity of the 103rd Constitutional Amendment, which introduced provisions for 10 percent reservation to the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
