Karnataka Seeks Ninth Schedule Inclusion for Enhanced SC ST Reservation Law
Karnataka's government has sought to protect its enhanced SC ST reservation law by recommending its inclusion in the Constitution's Ninth Schedule, aiming to shield it from legal challenges. This follows a High Court ruling that struck down increased quotas exceeding the 50% ceiling. Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara urged the Union Government for constitutional amendments, citing Tamil Nadu's higher reservation precedent. The move comes amid political debate ahead of state assembly elections, with opposition parties criticizing the timing and intent.
