Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the constitutionality of a government order providing 100% reservation for Scheduled Tribe candidates for teaching positions in Andhra Pradesh. The court analyzed the scope of the Governor's powers under Schedule V of the Constitution and the implications of such reservations on fundamental rights. Ultimately, the court held that while reservations are permissible, the extent and conditions must align with constitutional provisions and cannot infringe upon fundamental rights.
