Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh government has received a setback from the Supreme Court on the policy made in the Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) course. The double bench of Justice Dinesh Maheshwari and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia has directed to examine the policy of giving 75 percent reservation to the residents of Madhya Pradesh state for admission in B.Ed course. The bench termed this policy as 'overdose of reservation' and unconstitutional. The court gave its verdict on a PIL filed by Veena Vadini Samaj Kalyan Vikas Samiti and observed that the data for the last two years indicated that it was not serving the intended purpose. The Madhya Pradesh High Court had given a verdict supporting this reservation policy of the government, which was challenged in the Supreme Court. However, the bench has also said that the state has done reservation of seats for the residents within its rights, but while doing so it should have kept in mind the ground reality. Therefore, from the next academic session, the number of seats should be re-fixed for the local residents of the state and for the rest of the countrymen.
The court has asked the state government to do a comparative study of the figures of the last few years related to this subject, so that it can be known to what extent such reservation should be there. The bench said that we have seen that excessive reservation does not serve any purpose other than defeating the purpose of reservation. The authorities will have to keep this in mind while taking a decision in this regard.
