How can the Indian Parliament exceed the 50% cap on reservations
Congress party has expressed the need for a law on reservations exceeding the 50% cap.
To exceed the 50% cap on reservations in the Indian Parliament, the Congress party may pursue the following actions through legislation:
- Passing a constitutional amendment: The easiest way to exceed the 50% cap is by amending the Constitution to allow for a higher percentage of reservations.
- Establishing special provisions: Introducing special provisions in the law to justify reservations exceeding the cap, such as social and economic backwardness, can help in justifying the need for higher reservations.
- Ensuring judicial review: Including provisions in the legislation that protect it from being struck down by the judiciary for exceeding the reservation cap can provide legal support for the higher reservations.
