AG: Each one of them has a backwardness, from top to bottom, are you going to slice up creamy layer from all these categories and then slice up another for EWS? We have a judgement in Chinnaya v. State of Andhra Pradesh.

AG: Three categories of SEBCs constitute a homogeneous group. Are you going to ask for reservation, in addition to reservation already given? A reservation in a reservation? That is not contemplated.
