However, if any Gujjar leader were to come for the hearing, they would be allowed participation, the court said.State advocate general Mahendra Singh Singhvi and additional advocate general Satendra Singh Raghav were present during the hearing on Monday. "We were given advance copy of the petition, so we were present in the court," Raghav said.The court asked the state to reply by March 25 and allowed the petitioner to file rejoinder, if any, by March 28 and has fixed April 2 as the next date of hearing.The petition was filed at the Jaipur bench of the Rajasthan high court on February 27. Arvind Sharma and Badal Verma, petitioners, alleged through their counsel that total reservation above 50% was unconstitutional and had already been rejected by the Rajasthan high court.The petitioners alleged that the reservation was granted as per proportional population of the Gujjar and four other communities and not on any quantifiable data of these communities' backwardness in education and public employment.Kirori Singh Bainsla, who led the Gujjar agitation for reservation, wanted the quota beyond the 50% limit, while another group led by Himmat Singh has been asking quota within the 50% limit.The Rajasthan government passed the Rajasthan Backward Classes Amendment Bill on February 13 giving 5% quota in government jobs and educational institutes to the Gujjar and four other communities. JAIPUR: The Rajasthan high court on Monday sought a response from the state government - through chief secretary and secretary, department of personnel - on a writ petition challenging 5% reservation to the Gujjar community and four other castes notified by the state government through the Rajasthan Backward Classes Amendment Act, 2019.The reservations are in educational institutes and for appointments to services under the state.Since the state government filed a caveat in the court after notifying the act, the high court did not issue notices on the writ but asked the government lawyers to respond by March 25.A division bench comprising Chief Justice Pradeep Nandrajog and Justice GR Moolchandani said there was no need to issue notices to Gujjar leaders, including Kirori Singh Bainsla and Himmat Singh either, as the court does not recognize them.
