The same two villians of justice – R V Raveendran and A K Patnaik–strike again!
First, these two justices proved that they do not care about Indian industry, by shockingly, forcing private hospitals to treat poor patients for free (going against Indian constitutional law). Their message was clear – Indian Industry – you have to cover up for the inefficiencies, lack of resources and lack of foresight of the Indian Government. The Supreme Court showed itself to be no friends of business (or of the poor for that matter – decisions such as this harm all of society – not just the targeted businesses).
Not satisfied with penalizing the creative entrepreneurial energies of Indians, they went after the youth – the promise of the next generation of doctors, scientists, engineers. This time, their message was equally deplorable – Forget merit, we do not care if you are meritorious. Your seat WILL be GIVEN away to OBC candidate – even if he/she is not deserving of the same.
If the highest legal authority in India is this confused about the reservation issue, there is little hope for the Indian youth. Reservation SHOULD NOT mean giving seats blindly! It should allow for equal distribution of opportunity – i.e. – allow OBC students to compete on the same footing as everyone else. There cannot be any guarantee of seats. The OBC candidates have to get the same marks as anyone else to get the seat. Less marks – means less qualified – means less of a doctor/engineer/scientist. Surely these Chief Justices worked hard to get where they are today. I wonder if they would step down and vacate their posts for someone less qualified – just because of their OBC status? Any takers – Justice Raveendran? Justice Patnaik?
Thought as much! It is much easier to pontificate from your high berth – from where you are systematically dismantling the bright future of India. To me, there is NO EXCUSE that Supreme Court justices ( the highest upholders of law in the country) can support such a patently unfair and damaging policy such as reservation!

Hi,,absolutely agree with you!! Also, I’d like to ask both these justices if they would agree to a bypass surgery or a surgery for their son/daughter in the hands of a surgeon who has got through the OBC quota – and not on merit 🙂
whenever surgery has to be made to these high profile people (parliamentarians, ministers,executives,) it should be made mandatory to them to go to surgery in the hands of reservation candidates…
OH WOW!!! I am pretty sure what you have written comes within “contempt”. If you are not sure what that is google it. And next time you wish to make stray remarks on a judge at least bother to read his judgment first!!
Expressing someone’s view in a public forum cannot come under contempt ( unless you live in a dictatorship). I would also ask you -since you seem to have understood the judgement differently from others in this forum – to provide me with your interpretation of the judgement.
Thanks
dont you get the point our constitution has always tried to make about reservation! It is a well acknowledged fact that gross social injustice has been done to many sections of the community for ceturies which you seem to assume have been undone by reservation policy in place for just 50 years! On the issue of merit and expertise, you seem to falsely assume that members from dalit community (most of them) are incompetent simply because they havent scored well in their 12th boards
Would you say someone who has scored a 40 is as competent as someone who scored a 90? Someone who got a seat/ position in office – because of his birth – is as competent as someone who struggled to get the same job? If so, you are in a unique minority that places no emphasis on any competitive system – simply accepts the imbalance as part of the norm (since it suits your purpose, I am assuming).
I do not deny that gross injustice was done. I am all for ‘righting the wrong’ – but not with the means currently being used – which simply wrong another section of society and put everyone’s life in harm’s way. The correct means involve providing a level playing field – I.e. Provide facilities, books, libraries for OBCs – but not lower the standard of passing them ( or providing them jobs)
