RAIPUR: The Chhattisgarh high court on Monday held that reservation above 50% on government appointment and admissions to educational institutions is unconstitutional and set aside a 10-year-old government decision that raised quota to 58%.
Hearing petitions challenging the then BJP government’s decision of 2012, the division bench of Chief Justice Arup Kumar Goswami and Justice P P Sahu observed that the 58% reservation in medical and engineering colleges of the state is unconstitutional.
