Urge to Central Ministry on Amendment of Reservations
[Article 16 [4], 15 [4], 46 and, 340 though specified Classes, wrongly Castes were opted at Political interest which has been as warned by Dr. Ambedkar creating jealousy, antipathy and rivalry.]
A.AIR 1963 SC 649 ..” It does not mean that once a caste is considered backward class then it should continue to be backward for all the time. The Government should review the test and if a class reaches the state of progress where reservation is not necessary it should delete that class from the list of the backward Classes “
B. 1985 S.C. in the case: AIR 1985 SC 1495 : directed 1. The Reservation in favour of the SCs. and STs. must continue as at present that is, without application of a means test. for a further period of 15 years . Another 15 years will make it 50 from the commencement of the Constitution , a period reasonably long for these classes to overcome the baneful effect of social oppression , isolation and humiliation ;
2. the means test, that is, the test of economic backwardness ought to be applicable even to the SCs. and STs. after 15 years { after 2000 AD } ;
3. so far other backward classes are concerned two tests should be applied :-
a. that they should be comparable to the SCs. and STs. in the matter of their backwardness ;
b. that they should satisfy the means test such as the State Government may lay down, in the context of prevailing economic conditions ;
4. the policy of reservations in employment , education and legislative institutions should be reviewed every five years or so. This will afford an opportunity to the State to rectify distortions arising out of particular facts of the reservation policy .
Honour of Constitution is adherence, implementation and enforcement of Constitutional Mandates in true concept and correct objective please. more
