Supreme Court approves quota within quota, overturns 2004 decision, says sub-categories can be created for SC-ST

A bench of seven judges of the Supreme Court, while giving its majority verdict, has said that the state government can create sub-categories among the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, so that the original and needy category will get more benefit of reservation.

A seven-judge bench of the court has overturned the decision of five judges given in the EV Chinnaiya case in 2004. This bench has set aside the decision given in 2004 in which the Supreme Court had said that sub-categories cannot be created among SC/ST tribes.
