News Desk: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay Andhra Pradesh High Court order, which had quashed the central government notification for 4.5% sub-quota for minorities within 27% OBC quota in educational institutions IITs.


The apex court expressed its displeasure over Centre for appealing to the court to support the policy of quota for minorities. It pulled up the central government for handling of the "complex" and "sensitive" issue casually. The matter will be heard on Wednesday.


Hitting out at the Centre, the court said, "Today you are carving out 4.5 per cent from 27 per cent. Tomorrow you will carve another 4.5 per cent without any study, any report. What exercise have you done to reach this figure".


The court sought some more documents from the Centre before passing any order. The court wanted to know from the law officer what the basis was and how the government determined 4.5 percent sub-quota for minorities and carved it out of the 27 percent quota for OBCs.
