Some important points the bench made:

“SC has stayed the order on the Act saying to the Centre, ‘Don’t divide the country only because of your vote bank’ and that 'the consequences of this quota would be very bad'."

The Bench stated that Section 6 of the Constitution was not applicable since no data on OBCs has been collected in the last 76 years.

The Bench said that the OBC quota was just vote back politics and said it was forced to take the decision against the Government as the Government did not implement the SC's last two orders.

The Bench, reprimanding the Centre, also said that the Centre should stay away from dividing the society on caste basis and should behave in a more responsible way. It said the Government's decision to implement the quota system was full of flaws.

Untill and unless the criteria is based on economic backwardness, any reservation is bound to be unfair. When these guys hide behind "social backwardness" it is bound to be unfair for all.
