Justice Chandrachud : Mr. Nataraj, you better reflect on these. On what is the indicia for EWS? And what exercise has been done for arriving at this by the Govt of India? You cannot apply the same indicia as you apply for the SEBC. See because in the case of creamy layer, the concept of creamy layer is that by reason of economic advancement, indicia of backwardness id completely obliterated. But in the case of EWS, there is no concept of obliteration of social backwardness. We are not looking at social backwardness at all. You better file an affidavit.

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.
