Increase in quota will divide nation: SC
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In a caustic remark the Supreme Court said that the proposed increase of OBC reservation would divide the great nation on the basis of caste.
A vacation bench of Justice Arijit Pasayat and Justice L S Panta ordered the Union of India to answer to three crucial questions:
1 What is the basis of the norms for fixing the OBC category?
2 What is the rational behind fixing it?
3 If the proposed reservation is implemented, what are the modalities and the basis for modalities?
The apex bench gave an eight weeks time to file counter-affidavit on implementation of the policy.
