Muslim quota spiked.
(From The Times of India)
HYDERABAD: The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday struck down as 'unconstitutional' the 5 per cent reservation extended to Muslims in government jobs and education.
A five-member bench took the unanimous view that the decree recently enacted by the state government was unconstitutional and ultra vires of the Constitution.
The bench - comprising acting chief justice Bilal Nazki and justices G Raghuram, V V S Rao, N V Ramana and R Subash Reddy - found the law untenable because it was based on a 'faulty' recommendation by the State Backward Classes Commission to include the Muslim community among the backward classes.
The judges said the commission's methodology of determining the socio-economic status of Muslims was not valid and the material before it insufficient to conclude that the community deserved reservation.
