- The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court judgment striking down the law (Tamil Nadu Special Reservation Act, 2021) brought in Tamil Nadu last year providing 10.5 percent reservation to Vanniyars, within the Most Backward Classes community.
- The reservation was in government jobs and admissions to educational institutions.
- The top court said it was done solely on the basis of numbers without adequate data to show the relative backwardness of the Vanniyar community.
- The court also ruled that though there is no fetter placed on the power of the state to legislate.
- For that caste can be the basis of such internal reservation, it cannot be the sole basis.
