applicable even to the Scheduled Castes. It was also argued that
the enactment was in the form of affirmative action to fulfil
the constitutional objects and the courts should not interfere in
such efforts of the Legislature. Reliance was also placed on the
recommendations made by the National Commission for
Scheduled Castes and in its Report a further argument addressed
on behalf of the respondents is that even if some castes in the
Presidential List of Scheduled Castes get excluded from the
benefit of reservation made by the State that by itself would not
take the caste out of the List of Scheduled Castes because they
will continue to be entitled to other benefits that are being
provided by the State to the Scheduled Castes.
