Questioning the government on giving 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities on the basis of religion, the Supreme Court today refused to stay the Andhra Pradesh High Court order quashing the decision.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;We are not inclined to grant stay,&quot; a Bench comprising Justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar said while issuing notices to the petitioner on whose PIL the high court had quashed the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities carved out of the 27 per cent OBC quota in central educational institutions like the IIT.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, before which the Ministry of Human Resource Development placed the relevant and supporting documents forming the basis for the sub-quota, asked &quot;can you makeclassification on the basis of religion&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It further said that the December 22, 2011 Office Memorandum on the issue of sub-quota did not have the legislative support.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, which also questioned the calculation of providing 4.5 per cent sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota, wanted to know from the government as to &quot;whether there was any constitutional and statutory support for granting 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;We are asking whether 4.5 percent sub-quota has got constitutional or statutory support or not,&quot; the Bench said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It said &quot;the second question is whether the office memorandum has constitutional and statutory support or not&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Additional Solicitor General Gourab Banerji made all efforts that the apex court considers his plea for staying the high court order in view of the on going counselling for IITs for which 325 candidates have been short listed under the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
However, the Bench said it was not inclined to stay the high court order and noted that there was ambiguity in the calculation for carving out sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench was of the view that carving out sub-quota from minorities would have a bearing on the OBCs.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The court once again questioned the government for not consulting statutory bodies like the National Commission of Minorities (NCM) and National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) in determining the sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;Why you overlooked the NCBC and NCM. They are two most important statutory bodies,&quot; the bench asked.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At the outset, the Bench told the Centre that voluminous documents, which have been placed before it now, should have been produced in the high court.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
When Banerji said the high court was under the impression that the sub-quota was for all minorities, the Bench shot back &quot;it was because that was the reflection in the office memorandum&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said, all religious minorities like Buddhism and Zoroastrianism are not in the list of 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
He said though the OBCs among the religious minorities are covered under 27 per cent OBC quota, 4.5 per cent sub-quota is granted to lowest ranks of Muslims or converts to Christianity.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said the first cut-off identifying the OBC within the minorities for 4.5 percent sub-quota were that they have to be socially and educationally backward and they have to be religious minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At this, the bench said &quot;that is the difficulty and that is the point. We can understand if its is across the board. How you made the calculation?&quot;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Centre had yesterday placed before the Supreme Court the &quot;relevant&quot; material and documents on the basis of which it carved out 4.5 per cent sub-quota.

Questioning the government on giving 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities on the basis of religion, the Supreme Court today refused to stay the Andhra Pradesh High Court order quashing the decision.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;We are not inclined to grant stay,&quot; a Bench comprising Justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar said while issuing notices to the petitioner on whose PIL the high court had quashed the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities carved out of the 27 per cent OBC quota in central educational institutions like the IIT.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, before which the Ministry of Human Resource Development placed the relevant and supporting documents forming the basis for the sub-quota, asked &quot;can you makeclassification on the basis of religion&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It further said that the December 22, 2011 Office Memorandum on the issue of sub-quota did not have the legislative support.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, which also questioned the calculation of providing 4.5 per cent sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota, wanted to know from the government as to &quot;whether there was any constitutional and statutory support for granting 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;We are asking whether 4.5 percent sub-quota has got constitutional or statutory support or not,&quot; the Bench said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It said &quot;the second question is whether the office memorandum has constitutional and statutory support or not&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Additional Solicitor General Gourab Banerji made all efforts that the apex court considers his plea for staying the high court order in view of the on going counselling for IITs for which 325 candidates have been short listed under the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
However, the Bench said it was not inclined to stay the high court order and noted that there was ambiguity in the calculation for carving out sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench was of the view that carving out sub-quota from minorities would have a bearing on the OBCs.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The court once again questioned the government for not consulting statutory bodies like the National Commission of Minorities (NCM) and National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) in determining the sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;Why you overlooked the NCBC and NCM. They are two most important statutory bodies,&quot; the bench asked.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At the outset, the Bench told the Centre that voluminous documents, which have been placed before it now, should have been produced in the high court.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
When Banerji said the high court was under the impression that the sub-quota was for all minorities, the Bench shot back &quot;it was because that was the reflection in the office memorandum&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said, all religious minorities like Buddhism and Zoroastrianism are not in the list of 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
He said though the OBCs among the religious minorities are covered under 27 per cent OBC quota, 4.5 per cent sub-quota is granted to lowest ranks of Muslims or converts to Christianity.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said the first cut-off identifying the OBC within the minorities for 4.5 percent sub-quota were that they have to be socially and educationally backward and they have to be religious minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At this, the bench said &quot;that is the difficulty and that is the point. We can understand if its is across the board. How you made the calculation?&quot;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Centre had yesterday placed before the Supreme Court the &quot;relevant&quot; material and documents on the basis of which it carved out 4.5 per cent sub-quota.

Questioning the government on giving 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities on the basis of religion, the Supreme Court today refused to stay the Andhra Pradesh High Court order quashing the decision.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;We are not inclined to grant stay,&quot; a Bench comprising Justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar said while issuing notices to the petitioner on whose PIL the high court had quashed the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities carved out of the 27 per cent OBC quota in central educational institutions like the IIT.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, before which the Ministry of Human Resource Development placed the relevant and supporting documents forming the basis for the sub-quota, asked &quot;can you makeclassification on the basis of religion&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It further said that the December 22, 2011 Office Memorandum on the issue of sub-quota did not have the legislative support.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, which also questioned the calculation of providing 4.5 per cent sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota, wanted to know from the government as to &quot;whether there was any constitutional and statutory support for granting 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;We are asking whether 4.5 percent sub-quota has got constitutional or statutory support or not,&quot; the Bench said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It said &quot;the second question is whether the office memorandum has constitutional and statutory support or not&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Additional Solicitor General Gourab Banerji made all efforts that the apex court considers his plea for staying the high court order in view of the on going counselling for IITs for which 325 candidates have been short listed under the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
However, the Bench said it was not inclined to stay the high court order and noted that there was ambiguity in the calculation for carving out sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench was of the view that carving out sub-quota from minorities would have a bearing on the OBCs.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The court once again questioned the government for not consulting statutory bodies like the National Commission of Minorities (NCM) and National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) in determining the sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;Why you overlooked the NCBC and NCM. They are two most important statutory bodies,&quot; the bench asked.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At the outset, the Bench told the Centre that voluminous documents, which have been placed before it now, should have been produced in the high court.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
When Banerji said the high court was under the impression that the sub-quota was for all minorities, the Bench shot back &quot;it was because that was the reflection in the office memorandum&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said, all religious minorities like Buddhism and Zoroastrianism are not in the list of 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
He said though the OBCs among the religious minorities are covered under 27 per cent OBC quota, 4.5 per cent sub-quota is granted to lowest ranks of Muslims or converts to Christianity.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said the first cut-off identifying the OBC within the minorities for 4.5 percent sub-quota were that they have to be socially and educationally backward and they have to be religious minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At this, the bench said &quot;that is the difficulty and that is the point. We can understand if its is across the board. How you made the calculation?&quot;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Centre had yesterday placed before the Supreme Court the &quot;relevant&quot; material and documents on the basis of which it carved out 4.5 per cent sub-quota.

Questioning the government on giving 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities on the basis of religion, the Supreme Court today refused to stay the Andhra Pradesh High Court order quashing the decision.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;We are not inclined to grant stay,&quot; a Bench comprising Justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar said while issuing notices to the petitioner on whose PIL the high court had quashed the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities carved out of the 27 per cent OBC quota in central educational institutions like the IIT.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, before which the Ministry of Human Resource Development placed the relevant and supporting documents forming the basis for the sub-quota, asked &quot;can you makeclassification on the basis of religion&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It further said that the December 22, 2011 Office Memorandum on the issue of sub-quota did not have the legislative support.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, which also questioned the calculation of providing 4.5 per cent sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota, wanted to know from the government as to &quot;whether there was any constitutional and statutory support for granting 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;We are asking whether 4.5 percent sub-quota has got constitutional or statutory support or not,&quot; the Bench said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It said &quot;the second question is whether the office memorandum has constitutional and statutory support or not&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Additional Solicitor General Gourab Banerji made all efforts that the apex court considers his plea for staying the high court order in view of the on going counselling for IITs for which 325 candidates have been short listed under the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
However, the Bench said it was not inclined to stay the high court order and noted that there was ambiguity in the calculation for carving out sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench was of the view that carving out sub-quota from minorities would have a bearing on the OBCs.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The court once again questioned the government for not consulting statutory bodies like the National Commission of Minorities (NCM) and National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) in determining the sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&quot;Why you overlooked the NCBC and NCM. They are two most important statutory bodies,&quot; the bench asked.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At the outset, the Bench told the Centre that voluminous documents, which have been placed before it now, should have been produced in the high court.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
When Banerji said the high court was under the impression that the sub-quota was for all minorities, the Bench shot back &quot;it was because that was the reflection in the office memorandum&quot;.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said, all religious minorities like Buddhism and Zoroastrianism are not in the list of 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
He said though the OBCs among the religious minorities are covered under 27 per cent OBC quota, 4.5 per cent sub-quota is granted to lowest ranks of Muslims or converts to Christianity.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said the first cut-off identifying the OBC within the minorities for 4.5 percent sub-quota were that they have to be socially and educationally backward and they have to be religious minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At this, the bench said &quot;that is the difficulty and that is the point. We can understand if its is across the board. How you made the calculation?&quot;
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Centre had yesterday placed before the Supreme Court the &quot;relevant&quot; material and documents on the basis of which it carved out 4.5 per cent sub-quota.

Questioning the government on giving 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities on the basis of religion, the Supreme Court today refused to stay the Andhra Pradesh High Court order quashing the decision.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
"We are not inclined to grant stay," a Bench comprising Justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar said while issuing notices to the petitioner on whose PIL the high court had quashed the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities carved out of the 27 per cent OBC quota in central educational institutions like the IIT.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, before which the Ministry of Human Resource Development placed the relevant and supporting documents forming the basis for the sub-quota, asked "can you makeclassification on the basis of religion".
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It further said that the December 22, 2011 Office Memorandum on the issue of sub-quota did not have the legislative support.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench, which also questioned the calculation of providing 4.5 per cent sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota, wanted to know from the government as to "whether there was any constitutional and statutory support for granting 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
"We are asking whether 4.5 percent sub-quota has got constitutional or statutory support or not," the Bench said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
It said "the second question is whether the office memorandum has constitutional and statutory support or not".
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Additional Solicitor General Gourab Banerji made all efforts that the apex court considers his plea for staying the high court order in view of the on going counselling for IITs for which 325 candidates have been short listed under the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
However, the Bench said it was not inclined to stay the high court order and noted that there was ambiguity in the calculation for carving out sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The Bench was of the view that carving out sub-quota from minorities would have a bearing on the OBCs.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The court once again questioned the government for not consulting statutory bodies like the National Commission of Minorities (NCM) and National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) in determining the sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
"Why you overlooked the NCBC and NCM. They are two most important statutory bodies," the bench asked.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At the outset, the Bench told the Centre that voluminous documents, which have been placed before it now, should have been produced in the high court.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
When Banerji said the high court was under the impression that the sub-quota was for all minorities, the Bench shot back "it was because that was the reflection in the office memorandum".
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said, all religious minorities like Buddhism and Zoroastrianism are not in the list of 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
He said though the OBCs among the religious minorities are covered under 27 per cent OBC quota, 4.5 per cent sub-quota is granted to lowest ranks of Muslims or converts to Christianity.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Banerji said the first cut-off identifying the OBC within the minorities for 4.5 percent sub-quota were that they have to be socially and educationally backward and they have to be religious minorities.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
At this, the bench said "that is the difficulty and that is the point. We can understand if its is across the board. How you made the calculation?"

Additional Solicitor General Gourab Banerji made all efforts that the apex court considers his plea for staying the high court order in view of the on going counselling for IITs for which 325 candidates have been short listed under the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities.

Minority sub-quota: Setback for Centre as SC rejects stay plea
-The Indian Express
Questioning the government on giving 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities on the basis of religion, the Supreme Court today refused to stay the Andhra Pradesh High Court order quashing the decision.
"We are not inclined to grant stay," a Bench comprising Justices K S Radhakrishnan and J S Khehar said while issuing notices to the petitioner on whose PIL the high court had quashed the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities carved out of the 27 per cent OBC quota in central educational institutions like the IIT.
The Bench, before which the Ministry of Human Resource Development placed the relevant and supporting documents forming the basis for the sub-quota, asked "can you makeclassification on the basis of religion".
It further said that the December 22, 2011 Office Memorandum on the issue of sub-quota did not have the legislative support.
The Bench, which also questioned the calculation of providing 4.5 per cent sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota, wanted to know from the government as to "whether there was any constitutional and statutory support for granting 4.5 per cent sub-quota.
"We are asking whether 4.5 percent sub-quota has got constitutional or statutory support or not," the Bench said.
It said "the second question is whether the office memorandum has constitutional and statutory support or not".
Additional Solicitor General Gourab Banerji made all efforts that the apex court considers his plea for staying the high court order in view of the on going counselling for IITs for which 325 candidates have been short listed under the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities.
However, the Bench said it was not inclined to stay the high court order and noted that there was ambiguity in the calculation for carving out sub-quota within the 27 percent OBC quota.
The Bench was of the view that carving out sub-quota from minorities would have a bearing on the OBCs.
The court once again questioned the government for not consulting statutory bodies like the National Commission of Minorities (NCM) and National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) in determining the sub-quota.
"Why you overlooked the NCBC and NCM. They are two most important statutory bodies," the bench asked.
At the outset, the Bench told the Centre that voluminous documents, which have been placed before it now, should have been produced in the high court.
When Banerji said the high court was under the impression that the sub-quota was for all minorities, the Bench shot back "it was because that was the reflection in the office memorandum".
