Today in OBC reservation case Mr P. Wilson submitted that the Central government in its short counter affidavit at paragraph 11 has admitted the possibility of reservation in State surrendered seats for OBC. He submitted that the quota proposed by central government is as per Central Act and not as per TN Act and therefore the cap of 50% fixed is not acceptable. In so far as Saloni Kumar case is concerned the Supremecourt permitted writ petitioners to move High Coùrt even when it was brought to the notice of Hon’ble sc about pendency Of Saloni Kumari case before SC. This there is no legal bar for hearing of the case. He further submitted that issue in Saloni Kumar has become infructious as Saloni kumari which was filed in 2015 reservation was sought after Sc quashed in 2013 the 2010 NEET regulations which provided reservations. However in 2016, the Sc recalled the judgment and therefore from 2016 valid MCI regulations relating to Reservations have come in to force. Hence Saloni kumari case has in fact become a non issue. He also pointed out that when Central government gave EWS reservations in All India Quota , they never approached the SC . Therefore there cannot be one law for EWS and one law for OBC. The central government never approached sc when it decided to give reservation to OBC in central educational

He also pointed out that when Central government gave EWS reservations in All India Quota , they never approached the SC . Therefore there cannot be one law for EWS and one law for OBC. The central government never approached sc when it decided to give reservation to OBC in central educational Institutions. Thus they cannot drive the Petitioners to Sc on the ground that Salonikumari case was pending before SC
[6/22, 13:00] Sekarreporter 1: I also submitted that merely because the state is surrendering the seats to All India Quota, the character of seats doesn’t change and it remains to be the state seat. Hence reservation in the state will apply to “state surrendered seats” and not central reservations.
