New Delhi: The Supreme Court will pronounce the judgement on Other Backward Class (OBC) and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) quota in PG all India quota seats (MBBS/BDS and MD/MS/MDS) case on Friday. The special bench of justices- Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice AS Bopanna will pronounce the verdict tomorrow morning. The court will decide whether counseling will start on the criteria of 8 lakh per annum of EWS quota in NEET PG.
The top court heard arguments made by Senior Advocates Arvind Datar and Shyam Divan on yesterday’s hearing. Appearing for the petitioners, Senior Advocate Shyam Divan argued that the new system of reservation should come into force from next year. He referred to the July 29 notification for implementing EWS and OBC quota and said it is like ‘changing the rules of the game midway’ as the reservation policy was introduced after the exams were notified. ‘NEET PG counselling has to begin in national interest’, the court noted.
