Conduct caste-wise census to save quota

A section of students have been getting orders from the SC for creating 19 per cent additional seats every year. 

CHENNAI:Following the Supreme Court’s decision to expedite hearing on plea against the 69% reservation, PMK founder S Ramadoss said the State should soon conduct a caste-wise census and give details to SC to safeguard the 69% reservation.

Ramadoss, said the government had enacted a legislation to ensure 69 per cent reservation. However, a section of students have been getting orders from the SC for creating 19 per cent additional seats every year.  However, when a similar petition came up on Wednesday, the SC refused to entertain it and said the court could consider restricting the reservation within 50 per cent.
