Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a transfer petition seeking to move a writ petition from the High Court of Punjab and Haryana concerning a notification for 10% vertical reservation for economically backward persons in public employment. The petitioners argued that this reservation would exceed the 50% limit established in previous landmark cases. The Court recognized the relevance of ongoing appeals on similar issues and decided to transfer the writ petition for a comprehensive examination of the legal questions involved.
