10.5% quota for vanniyars: SC refuses to stay HC order

The Supreme Court has declined to stay the Madras high court order quashing 10.5% quota for vanniyars in education and employment, and barred the state government from making further appointments or admissions under the quota. Appointments and admissions already done will be subject to the outcome of the case, said the court on Thursday. A three-judge bench of Justice L Nageswara Rao, Justice B R Gavai and Justice B V Nagarathna issued the directions on a batch of appeals filed by the government of Tamil Nadu, Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), and a few others. The bench posted the case to February 15, and said it would hear it without any adjournments.
