New Delhi, May 6: The Centre on Tuesday defended in the Delhi High Court its decision to provide reservation to OBC candidates in IIMs and other Central educational institutions.

Appearing before a Bench headed by Justice T S Thakur, Additional Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam contended that the recent Constitution Bench judgement of the Supreme Court gave green signal to the government to provide reservation in higher educational institutions.

"The matter stands concluded and the contentions raised by anti-quota activists that the benefit of reservation cannot be provided to a candidate after passing graduation is wrong," Subramaniam said while opposing a petition filed by an IIM alumni association.

"The operational part of the judgement does not mention about the exclusion of reservation to be graduate," he further contended.
