SC quashes extension of OBC reservation to Jats in 9 states

The Supreme Court said it cannot agree that politically organised Jats are backward class so as to be entitled to OBC reservation 

 

The Supreme Court on Tuesday quashed the 4 March 2014, notification by the then United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government extending other backward  class (OBC) reservation to Jats in nine states, ignoring the recommendation of the National Commission for Backward Classes to the contrary.
 
An apex court bench of Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman said: "We can't agree that politically organised Jats are backward class so as to be entitled to OBC reservation."
 
"Inclusion of politically organised class such as Jats... can't be affirmed", said Justice Gogoi pronouncing the judgment.
