K Conclusion
144
For the above reasons, we have come to the conclusion that the challenge
to the constitutional validity of the Reservation Act 2018 is lacking in substance.
Following the decision in B K Pavitra I, the State government duly carried out the
exercise of collating and analysing data on the compelling factors adverted to by
the Constitution Bench in Nagaraj. The Reservation Act 2018 has cured the
deficiency which was noticed by B K Pavitra I in respect of the Reservation Act
2002. The Reservation Act 2018 does not amount to a usurpation of judicial
power by the state legislature. It is Nagaraj and Jarnail compliant. The
Reservation Act 2018 is a valid exercise of the enabling power conferred by
Article 16 (4A) of the Constitution.
145 We therefore find no merit in the batch of writ petitions as the constitutional
validity of the Reservation Act 2018 has been upheld. They shall stand
dismissed. Accordingly, the review petitions and miscellaneous applications shall also stand dismissed in view of the judgment in the present case. There shall be
no order as to costs. All pending applications are disposed of.
