As to whether the ministry's directive amounts to contempt of court, only the SC can pronounce on that. On TV, I did hear Salve say that he would raise the matter of the HRD ministry's directive in the SC.<BR/><BR/>-TTRT T Ram Mohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06925858642839337950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33693245.post-12195687539609536012007-04-23T10:39:00.000+05:302007-04-23T10:39:00.000+05:30>> Critics say that the SC has only put OBC quotas...>> Critics say that the SC has only put OBC quotas on hold, so why should the others suffer? As I have argued earlier, the counter to this could be: why should only the OBC category suffer? >><BR/><BR/>Let us see,<BR/><BR/>How about because only the OBC category is under litigation ?<BR/><BR/>There is no stay on the SC/ST quota, the Supreme Court has very clearly stated that in the interim order. It is unfair to hold them hostage. This is possibly a contempt of the court order to withhold SC/ST admissions,despite the explicit wording in the order.<BR/><BR/>It is not the OBCs quota alone who will suffer, the candidates selected due to the proportional rise in the general as well as SC/ST quota will also be on hold. In other words, everyone who hoped to take advantage of the impugned act will be affected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
