In Ashoka Kumar Thakur v Union of India (Writ Petition (Civil) No. 265 of 2006) a five-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court held that the 93rd Constitutional Amendment did not violate the basic structure of the Constitution as regards state-maintained and aided institutions, leaving open its validity for private unaided institutions, and that Act 5 of 2007 was not invalid. It held that the creamy layer must be excluded from the OBCs. The lead opinion of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan said Parliament could review the reservation after ten years; the opinion of Justice Arijit Pasayat (with Justice C.K. Thakker) called for a review every five years. [2][1]
