Justice Mithal suggested that while the current reservation system should continue, there should be a reevaluation and development of new methods to assist the truly disadvantaged within SC/ST/OBC communities, ensuring the preservation of the reservation framework until more effective solutions are in place.
In a landmark decision on August 1, a seven-judge Bench of the Supreme Court upheld that states have the authority to further subdivide groups within reserved categories based on varying levels of backwardness to better allocate reservation benefits.
The judgement, delivered by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud along with Justices BR Gavai, Vikram Nath, Bela Trivedi, Pankaj Mithal, Satish Chandra Sharma, and Manoj Misra, saw a majority of six judges in favour of sub-classification, with Justice Trivedi dissenting.
