- The Madurai Bench of Madras high court set aside a Tamil Nadu legislation granting 10.5% reservation to the Vanniyar community within an existing 20% quota for the most backward classes (MBC) in the state.
- It held the law to be unconstitutional.
- It held that the state government is empowered to do internal reservation.
- It asked how the percentage of 10.5% had been arrived with no clear caste census.
- The court clarified that the order nullifying the reservation will not impact those who have been admitted to institutions under the quota.
Background
- The law carving 10.5% reservation for Vanniyar within 20% reservation for Most Backward Classes (MBCs) was notified by the previous AIADMK government on February 26 in 2021.
- The present Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government issued an order to fully implement the reservation.
