Reservation under Article 16(4) of our Constitution: Placing a ‘Power plus Duty’ upon the State

With reservation being made an enabling provision in the latest jurisprudence in Mukesh Kumar, this article argues that the provisions of the Constitution in fact place a “power plus duty” upon the state to provide them. By reiterating the position of reservation as part of the extended right to equality, the article argues that the State would be duty bound to take all measures to operationalise this right.
