The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice on a contempt petition filed against the Centre and the Kerala government for “wilfully disobeying” judicial orders to periodically revise the backward classes list in the State to ensure equitable distribution of the benefits of reservation in public employment.
A Bench headed by Justice B.R. Gavai sought a response from the Centre, the State government through the Chief Secretary and the Kerala State Commission for Backward Classes.
The contempt petition was filed by an NGO, Minority Indians Planning and Vigilance Commission Trust, represented by advocate Haris Beeran.
