💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court compared reservation in India to a train, stating that those who have entered the compartment don't want others to join. The court was hearing a plea against OBC reservation in Maharashtra local body elections. The petitioner argued that the reservation was given without ascertaining political backwardness. The court suggested that states should identify more classes to follow the principle of inclusivity, and not limit benefits to specific families or groups.
