89% of Tamil Nadu’s population already eligible for reservation, State tells Madras High Court
Mere existence of power to grant 10% EWS reservation to others is no reason to necessarily exercise such power without adequate reasons, it says

MOHAMED IMRANULLAH S.
The litigant had sought a direction to the State government to implement the 10% EWS quota for admission to all higher educational institutions in the State.
The Tamil Nadu government has told the Madras High Court that 89% of the State’s population is already eligible for the 69% reservation provided in education and public employment, and therefore, the State cannot be compelled to implement the additional 10% reservation for others under the category of Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).
The submission was made in a counter-affidavit filed by the State to a public interest litigation petition filed in 2020 by Periya Nambi Narasimha Gopalan of Ambasamudram in Tirunelveli district. The litigant had sought a direction to the State government to implement the 10% EWS quota for admission to all higher educational institutions in the State.
