The act breaches the notion of equality of all citizens<\/strong> of India. States have enacted laws that limit employment for citizens from outside the State. Over the last three years, three states have enacted laws that limit employment for citizens from outside the State. These laws raise questions on the conception of India<\/strong> as a nation.<\/p>\n

Indra Sawhney case<\/a> in 1992:\u00a0<\/strong>Supreme Court capped reservations in public services at 50%. It however said that there may be extraordinary situations which may need relaxation in this rule like people of far-flung and remote areas.<\/p>\n

In 1995<\/strong>, Rules in Andhra Pradesh that gave preference to candidates who had studied in the Telugu medium were struck down on grounds that they discriminated against more meritorious candidates.<\/p>\n

Supreme Court, in 2002<\/strong>, ruled that preference given to applicants from a particular region of Rajasthan for appointment as government teachers was unconstitutional. It said that reservations can be made for backward classes of citizens, but this cannot be solely on account of residence or domicile.<\/p>\n

Supreme Court in 2021: <\/strong>Struck down the Maharashtra Act<\/a> on grounds of breaching the 50% limit, which provided reservations for Marathas.<\/p>\n
