Key Points

The Supreme Court of India on Tuesday expressed its disapproval of the comments made by politicians on Karnataka's Muslim OBC reservation matter...

A bench of Justices KM Joseph, BV Nagarathna, and Ahsanuddin Amanullaj said, When the matter is pending before the court and there is a court order on Karnataka Muslim quota, then there should not be any political statements on the issue..

Senior Advocate Dushyant Dave invited the bench's attention to the comments made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah during campaigning for the Karnataka Assembly election..

On April 26, the Karnataka government told the top court it has taken a "conscious decision" to not continue with reservation on the sole basis of religion as it is unconstitutional and it has, therefore, scrapped the provision of 4% quota for the Muslim community..

The state government filed its reply to a batch of petitions challenging its two orders dated March 27, scrapping the four per cent quota for Muslims in 2B category of the 'Other Backward Castes' and granting benefits of increased quota to Vokkaligas and Lingayats in admissions and appointments to government jobs..
