The Supreme Court retained a 10 per cent reservation for weaker sectors of the economy in the general category. EWS booking continues in Korea. In 2019, three out of five judges supported the 103rd amendment to the Constitution. The central government introduced a 10% reserve for the poor in the general category through a constitutional amendment.
The 103rd amendment, which introduced the provision, was challenged by the Supreme Court. On the fifth bench, three judges, Judge Dinesh Maheshwari, Judge Bela Trivedi and Judge J.B. Pardiwala, voted in favour of the EWS clause. Meanwhile, Supreme Court Justice W. W. Lalit and Justice Ravindra Bhatt opposed the EWS clause.
BJP told victory of Modi’s mission
The Constitution bench of the Supreme Court upholds the validity of the 10 per cent EWS reservation amongst the General Category.
This is yet another victory for PM Shri @narendramodi in His mission to provide social justice to India's Poor.

House Minority Leader Udit Raj tweeted: тАЬThe Supreme Court is caste-based. I support my statement. I am not against the reservation of poor upper castes but of the mindset that when the SC/ST/OBC matter came up, SC always said that the 50% limit in the Indira Sawhney case cannot be crossed. The Supreme Court turned U-Turn. Whenever SC/ST/OBC reservation matters come, SC always reminds the limit of 50%.”
