Social revolution does not come overnight and takes time, the Supreme Court said on Tuesday while refusing to deal at this stage with the issue of caste-based reservation in the National Defence Academy (NDA).
The top court gave the Centre time till July to study the implication of induction and deployment of ex-National Defence Academy (NDA) women cadets in the armed forces.
“Social revolution does not come overnight and it takes time,” a Bench of Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and M.M. Sundresh told an intervener, who is seeking to reserve seats for Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, and Other Backward Classes in the NDA. The Bench said that at present it would only go into the issue of admission of women in the defence education institutions.
