9th - Social Studies

SN Marks

On August 13, 1990, the Government of India issued an Order which was called an Office 5
Memorandum.The order says that other than SC and ST the 27% job reservation benefit will be
given to a new third category called Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC).Only
persons who belong to backward classes were eligible for this quota.When the Office
Memorandum was passed in India, it was a hot debate issue.Some felt that this was unfair as it
would deny equality of opportunity to those who did not belong to backward
communities.While others felt that this would give a fair opportunity to those communities who
so far had not adequately been represented in government employment.This dispute was
finally resolved by the Supreme Court of India by hearing all the cases. This case was known as
the ‘Indira Sawhney and others Vs Union of India case’.The Supreme Court judges in 1992
declared that this order of the Government of India was valid. Thus, the dispute came to an end
and this policy has been followed since then.
