Karnataka to move SC against HC ruling on quota hike: Shivakumar

Bengaluru, Nov 12 (UNI) Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Thursday said the state government would write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking inclusion of the enhanced reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution, while preparing to challenge the High Court's verdict on the issue in the Supreme Court.
He said the government was confident of getting justice from the Supreme Court and that the Cabinet had already decided to file an appeal against the High Court ruling on reservation enhancement and internal reservation.
Speaking to reporters after chairing a meeting of the State Council for Development of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes at Vikas Soudha here, Shivakumar said the government had entrusted Deputy Chief Minister G Parameshwara and Ministers HC Mahadevappa and Satish Jarkiholi with the responsibility of overseeing the legal proceedings and coordinating the state's defence.
