India, Dec. 30 -- On July 30, the Supreme Court directed the UT administration to implement 27% OBC (other backward classes) reservation in a staggered manner at theGovernment Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Sector 32, and other highereducational institutions in Chandigarh. The landmark order came on a special leavepetition by MBBS aspirant Dhruvi Yadav against the Punjab and Haryana HC's refusal to quash the GMCH admission prospectus for not including the OBC reservation. Yadav, who completed her dental degree during the six-year legal battle, is no longer eligible to benefit from the policy. What it means: The Ministry of home affairs extended the Haryana Backward Classes (Reservation in services and admission in educational institutions) Act, 2016, to Chandigarh with modifications. As a result, GMCH-32 accepted applications of OBCcandidates under reserved category for the first time. It also paved way for theimplementation of the OBC quota elsewhere, a constitutional mandate, strangely not implemented by UT so far. What next: The quota will be implemented in a staggered manner with 3% in first year, 4% each in second and third year, 5% each in fourth and fifth year and 6% in the sixth year....
