Karnataka Muslim Reservation: The controversy over the abolition of 4 percent Muslim reservation in Karnataka is increasing. On Tuesday (May 9) in the Supreme Court, the hearing against the state government’s decision has been postponed to July 25. Based on the new policy, the interim order of not giving job or admission will continue. Meanwhile, the judges expressed displeasure and said that when the matter is pending in the court, why are the BJP leaders making statements on it?
Justice K.M. Joseph, Justice B.V. A bench of Justice Nagaratna and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah said, “When the matter is sub judice. There is a court order on Karnataka Muslim reservation, so there should be no political rhetoric on this issue. This is not right. Some sanity needs to be maintained.
In fact, senior advocate Dushyant Dave, appearing for the petitioners challenging the cancellation of the four per cent Muslim reservation, said, “Every day in Karnataka Home Minister Amit Shah is giving statements that he has withdrawn the four per cent Muslim reservation. Why should such statements be made?”
What did the Karnataka government say?
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Karnataka government, objected to Dave’s statement and said that he was not aware of any such comment and if someone is saying that there should be no reservation on the basis of religion then what is wrong and it is a fact is.
Justice Joseph said, “It is not a problem for the Solicitor General to make a statement in the court, but it is not proper to say anything outside the court on the matter under consideration. In the year 1971, a contempt case was brought against a political leader for holding a press conference against the order of the court”.
What did the court say?
Dave said that these statements are being given every day. Mehta said that the court needs to restrain Dave from making such statements and using court proceedings for the same. On this, the bench said that we will not allow this court to become a political platform. We are not party to it. We will adjourn the matter.
What assurance?
At the outset, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Mehta and members of the Vokkaliga and Lingayat communities, said they needed some respite from the hearing. This is because the matter of constitution bench is going on on gay marriage in which they are debating. He assured that the interim order passed by the court will continue.
Dave said that this should happen till further orders. The bench then directed that the interim orders passed in the previous hearing shall continue till further orders and listed the matter for July.
