Sub-quota: Supreme Court pulls up Central government

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay Andhra Pradesh High Court's order quashing 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities within 27 per cent OBC quota in educational institutions.


The apex court will hear the matter on Wednesday and has asked the Centre to place supporting documents for extending 4.5 per cent sub-quota to the minorities in educational institutions within the 27 per cent OBC reservation.


Expressing unhappiness over the Centre not placing any documentary proof before the Andhra Pradesh High Court on the issue of minority sub-quota, the court pulled up the Union government for the manner in which the sensitive issue was being handled.
