The apex court directed the state backward class commission to revisit the reservation issue afresh.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted protection to the Tamil Nadu government's quota law, which provides for 69 per cent reservation in educational institutions and jobs.
The apex court bench of Chief Justice SH Kapadia and Justices KS Radhakrishna Rao and Swatanter Kumar also directed the state backward class commission to revisit the reservation issue afresh.
Tamil Nadu was asked to submit quantifiable data in support of reservation exceeding 50 per cent for Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes.
