Supreme Court has quashed the review pleas filed by the Centre and Jat organisations seeking to declare the Jat community as socially and economically backward class to grant them OBC reservation. A bench headed by Justice Ranjan Gogoi dismissed the plea filed by them seeking review of the apex court's verdict by which it had declared the Centre's decision to grant OBC status to JAT community as unconstitutional. <br/><br/>Supreme Court in March had struck down the Centre's controversial decision to grant Jat community reservation in jobs and educational institution, terming it as a reflection of negative and retrograde governance. UPA government's decision to grant OBC status to the Jat community on the eve of the 2014 general elections had drawn strong reactions from other backward class communities which viewed the move as vote bank politics. The NDA government had defended the UPA's decision in the Supreme Court. <br/><br/>National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) had in its report advised the government against grant of OBC status to Jats. It said the community is not socially and educationally backward to be entitled to a share in 27% OBC quota in jobs and admission to educational institutions. The NCBC had also said that the community is adequately represented in armed forces, government services and educational institutions. <br/><br/><br/>Meanwhile, an emergency meeting has been called in Haryana by Jat bodies in Jind today to discuss the situation arising out of the Supreme Court order. Kandela Khap chief and Jat Reservation Committee office bearer Tek Ram Kandela said that the meeting has been called to discuss the decisions of Supreme Court and the Punjab and Haryana High Court and to review the future course of action. Jat leader Hawa Singh Sangwan said, a committee will be formed which will decide the future course of action and will fight for the rights of Jats.
