New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday restored the Andhra Pradesh law providing 4% exclusive quota in jobs and educational institutions for backward groups among Muslims.The development can give a fillip to the demand for the implementation of the Ranganath Mishra commissions recommendations for 15% quota for minorities. 
The interim order passed by the SC revived the AP law which was struck down as unconstitutional by a sevenjudge bench of the Andhra Pradesh high court on the ground that it violated the constitutional provision forbidding faith-based quota.A bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and comprising Justices J M Panchal and B S Chauhan has left it to a five-judge Constitution Bench to decide the legality of the law which has taken the total quantum of all kinds of quotas to 49% in the state.The Constitution Bench is to start the scrutiny in the second week of August.
The apex court,however,stayed the implementation of a provision of the law which was seen as aimed at putting the entire Muslim community,except 10 groups,under the backward category,entitled to reservations in jobs and admissions to schools and colleges.
2004:
YSR govt issues order for 5% quota for Muslims in jobs and education in July.HC strikes it down in Sept
2005:
AP categorizes all Muslims backward,issues ordinance for 5% quota,becomes an Act in Oct.HC strikes it down in November,calling quota on the basis of religion unconstitutional
2007:
State enacts Act for 4% quota for 15 backward Muslim groups in August.Month later,SC stays admissions under quota
2008:
Supreme Court vacates stay,sends case back to Andhra high court
2010:
HC strikes down quota in February.On March 25,SC upholds quota,constitutional bench to examine issue in August
