Why is SC order on SC/ST reservations in promotions so controversial & is BJP to blame or Cong?

#CutTheClutter 00:40



*Correction: Three judge bench shown at 00:40- Justice Arun Mishra, Vineet Saran & Ravindra Bhat upheld SC ST 2018 Amendment Act on 10 February, 2020. The correct bench consists of Justice L Nageswara Rao and Hemant Gupta and the verdict was delivered on 7 February, 2020. The error is regretted.



A 2-judge Supreme Court bench had upheld Uttarakhand government's appeal and ruled that reservations for SC/STs in promotions isn’t a fundamental right and that Art 16(4a) is a mere enabling not mandatory provision. In episode 388 of ThePrint’s Cut The Clutter, Shekhar Gupta sifts the law, from politics and hypocrisy.
