A five-judge bench gave the verdict of 10% reservation applicable for people belonging to Economically Weaker Section (EWS), by a ratio of 3:2. However, now the verdict is under re-evaluation due to the court having failed to notice the Centre’s criteria to determine the EWS by at least ₹8 lakh per annum. Another criteria to examine the verdict is to focus on the 50% cap criteria, as it wasn’t touched by the bench, neither was brought into notice by the three issues presented by the 5 judge bench.
