Indra Sawhney Etc. Etc vs Union Of India And Others, Etc. Etc. on 16 November, 1992

In this connections, we may refer to the holding in Indra Sawhney v. Union of India with respect to a similar argument vis-a-vis Article 16(1). It was argued for the petitioners that Article 16(1) - which guarantees equality of opportunity to all citizens in matters relating to employment - does not warrant providing of reservations. The contention was rejected. It was held that just as Article 14 permits classification so does Article 16(1), which is but a facet of rule of equality in Article 14. For bringing about and ensuring equality, it was held, appropriate measures including reservations can be adopted, what kind of special provision should be made in favour of a particular class, it was observed, is a matter for the State to decide having regard to the facts and circumstances of a given situation. For the above reasons, the first contention of Sri Singh is rejected.
