Justice Chandrachud : Mr. Nataraj, I will tell you a fable. Not a fable, a real happening. When we recommend lawyers as judges, there is an income criteria. For example, income criteria of "X". But for a person in Allahabad, "X" will be a huge income. It might be different in Mumbai. The scale of pay, living cost etc are different. The reason we say is that, the explanation to Article 15(6) says states will define. For example, in a hill state with remote areas, income of 3 lakhs might be economically weaker section. It may not be the economically weaker section in Karnataka or any other developed state . I don't mean this in a pejorative sense to states. Just citing an example. Even for HRAs, you have Class 1, Class 2 cities.
