The Supreme Court on Wednesday brought into force the Andhra Pradesh High Court judgement quashing the five per cent quota for the Muslims in the government jobs and educational institutions.

However, a bench headed by Chief Justice Y K Sabharwal gave relief to those who have already availed the benefit of the controversial ordinance.

It directed that status quo be maintained relating to the appointments made in the public services and admissions granted in the educational institutions.

Admitting the bunch of appeals against the High Court judgement, the Bench referred the matter for consideration before a Constitution Bench.
