సుప్రీంకోర్టు తీర్పుపై సందిగ్ధంలో ఆంధ్రప్రదేశ్ రాజకీయ పార్టీలు AP parties dilemma over SC verdict

Sub-classification of SCs, STs Has Significant Implications for Social Justice
The reservation policy cannot be indifferent to the degree of backwardness within a class of citizens.
In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court held on 2 August that the sub-classification of Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) was permissible.

The Constitutional bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, in a 6:1 verdict, has overruled the apex court’s 2005 judgment that state governments had no power to create subcategories of SCs for reservations. In EV Chinnaiah v State of Andhra Pradesh, 2005, the Supreme Court held that SCs notified under Article 341 formed one homogeneous group and could not be subcategorised further.

But now, in a significant judgment that has implications for social justice, the SC stated that a quota within a quota is not against the right to equality enshrined in Article 14 of the Constitution.
The issue of sub-categorisation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has been rocking India's political and legal system for several years. A section of these communities have demanded it to ensure the equitable distribution of benefits of affirmative action provided by the Constitution.
