The 103rd Constitutional Amendment, which provides 10% reservation for members of economically weaker sections (EWS) in admissions and government posts, has been upheld by the Supreme Court by a majority of 3:2.
Justice Dinesh Maheshwari, Justice Bela M Trivedi, and Justice JB Pardiwala of the five-judge panel that delivered the verdict found in favour of the quota, claiming that the provision on reservation for EWS did not contradict the fundamental principles of the Constitution.
Justice S. Ravindra Bhat, on the other side, voiced his disagreement and overturned the EWS quota amendment. UU Lalit, CJI, agreed with him.
