ALLAHABAD: Allahabad High Court on has reserved its verdict on the reservation policy changed recently by UPPSC whereby caste-based quotas were introduced at the preliminary stage.

Angry over the issue, candidates had gone on rampage and vandalized shops and buses in the city.

The High Court also ordered the UPPSC to stop interviews for the ongoing civil services examinations for the coming 10 days.

A division bench comprising Justices Laxmi Kant Mohapatra and Rakesh Srivastava reserved their verdict on a bunch of petitions filed by hundreds of candidates appearing in competitive examinations, who had challenged the aforesaid reservation policy.

Consequently, the UPPSC interviews which were to commence on July 26 would now have to be rescheduled and by that time the directives on the matter is also likely to be delivered by HC.

Appearing on behalf of the petitioners, senior advocates, including Keshri Nath Tripathi and Ravi Kiran Jain told the Court that the new reservation policy was “illegal” and “unconstitutional” and intended to benefit candidates from “only one caste group considered close to the ruling party in the State”.

The High Court also questioned the UPPSC’s “haste” in bringing in the new policy after being told that it was “passed by voice-vote after one of the members of the Commission brought forth the proposal”.

The petitions were opposed by the UPPSC, which was represented by Counsel Shashi Nandan, and the UP Government, through Additional Advocate General CB Yadav.

The three-tier reservation system introduced by UPPSC, which proposes caste-based quotas from the preliminary exams stage itself, has drawn flaks from students and several political parties.
