Madras High Court has observed that implementing OBC reservation in All India Quota (AIQ) seats is not a choice of the central government. The court has directed the Union government to put their points before the court as to how they are implementing the 50% reservation. The court has given a week's time to the central government and the next hearing is on July 26.
The court order has come at a time when recently the central government had submitted to Madras High Court that they have no objections against OBC reservation in AIQ to medical admission. The government had also clarified that such a step would only be taken after informing the Supreme Court.

There is a 90% more chance of getting best college recommendations by sharing preferences.The High Court bench comprising Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy and Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee has stated that "The Union government's attempt to not implement the OBC reservation quota in respect of the All India Quota (AIQ) seats for admission to medical courses in the state in the academic year 2021-22 appears to be contumacious, in derogation of the order dated July 27, 2020, passed by this court and contrary to the representation made before the Supreme Court."
TOI reported that the HC bench observed: "It now appears that the union seeks to change track and keep the implementation of the OBC reservation as per the 1993 state act in suspension till the Saloni Kumari case is decided by the Supreme Court."
