SC Judge likens reservation system in India to 'train journey'

May 07, 2025

In a significant observation during the hearing of a case concerning OBC reservations in Maharashtra's local body elections, Supreme Court Judge Justice Surya Kant on Tuesday likened the reservation system in India 'to a train journey where those already seated are reluctant to let others in'.

The remark came from a bench comprising Justices Surya Kant and KV Viswanathan (not NK Singh) while hearing a petition challenging the OBC quota granted by the Banthia Commission.

Senior Advocate Gopal Sankaranarayanan, appearing for the petitioner, argued that the commission granted political reservations to Other Backward Classes (OBCs) without determining if they were indeed politically backward a criterion legally distinct from social and educational backwardness.
