Supreme Court has issued notices to the government asking a detailed explanation of the rationale behind reservations for OBC's.
The court’s order came on the basis of petitions filed by advocate Ashoka Kumar Thakur and Shiv Khera challenging the validity of the Constitution 93rd amendment extending reservation for OBCs.
However, the supreme court has given the government 8 weeks to reply, and has also warned medicos to end strike.
...the court has now made clear it was taking the matter very seriously and that the doctors would face contempt charges if the agitation is not immediately called off.
YouthForEquality faces a difficult choice - if the strike is called of now, it will be very difficult to bring it back to its current status after a gap of 8 weeks. Going by past conflicts between the parliament and the judiciary, there is little reason to believe that the SC would be of any help in winning the war on reservation. On the contrary it might play a part in weakening the students movement.
For now however, the agitation is still on.
