EWS Reservation- Supreme Court Constitution Bench Hearing DAY 2- LIVE UPDATES

Kumar: This is the third round challenging this amendment as violating freedoms under 19 and 21.

Kumar: They may be born as Christians, they don't go to mass. What about some people? Are they being denied their FR of equal opportunity? But this divides the society- EWS and backward.

Babasaheb didn't die as a Hindu even when he was born as Hindu. He declared.

Kumar: If casteless society is the law that constitution has envisioned, it should be recognised. I'm condemned to this caste. I didn't take reserved seat in college,. i didn't apply for job under quota. People have stopped recognising themselves as that.

Kumar: Justice Ramaswamy's judgement.

J Bhat: In this matrix, you're applying Shastric law, even when it has nothing to do with it.

Kumar: Caste is thrust upon her.

Kumar: My fundamental freedom under 25, under 19, I don't want to be a member...A number of people are saying. Yesterday madam Arora mentioned inter caste marriage. You can't impose religion of husband on wife. They haven't imposed but you're imposing.

Kumar: Don't I have freedom of religion? Am i to be condemned for belonging to that religion? I want to be free from my religion. Likewise I wanna be free of my caste. But my caste is SC, my caste is backward so I'm not eligible for this.

J Bhat: PGI Chandigarh, single post cannot be reserved. Even on one post there cannot be...

Kumar: No that is from 1987, it has been there.

Kumar: It is understandable if it's said that you got a seat in medical College under 15(3) but no, it's because your caste is enumerated as SC, therefore you're removed. Is it not discriminatory on ground of caste? This violates the equality code.

Kumar: We have a FR which was available to us to apply for 50% posts, professional colleges is now shrunk. We're disqualified. It's an affront to the constitution to say that- that somebody is disqualified.

Kumar: It's manifestly arbitrary and fraud on constitution to give such a privilege. Second ground of attack is- you not only give 10% but take away 10% from rest of the population. You disqualify everyone under 16(4)
