DMK moves SC, seeks review of EWS verdict
New Delhi, December 5
Tamil Nadu’s ruling DMK has filed a petition in the Supreme Court, seeking review of the court’s verdict upholding the constitutional validity of 10 per cent quota for economically weaker sections (EWS) in government jobs and educational institutions.
By 3:2 majority, a five-judge Constitution Bench led by then Chief Justice of India (CJI) UU Lalit had, on November 7, declared that the 103rd constitutional amendment providing for the EWS quota was valid and it didn’t violate basic structure of the Constitution.
The use of basic structure doctrine as a “sword” to “stultify” the state’s effort to do economic justice can’t be countenanced, it had said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now
in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is
run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.
The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any
bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and
partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense
of the term.
The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
