As the Apex court supported the ordinance, Justice Dinesh Maheshwari stated, "The EWS quota statute does not violate basic structure or equality code for taking into account economic criterion." By surpassing the 50% ceiling for quota, "it also doesn't destroy any fundamental characteristic because the ceiling is flexible itself," he continued. By a vote of 3-2, the court maintained the quota statute.

The law was also upheld by Justice Bela M. Trivedi. A five-judge panel, led by the Chief Justice and made up of justices Dinesh Maheshwari, S. Ravindra Bhat, Bela M. Trivedi, and J.B. Pardiwala, was making decisions on a number of legal matters pertaining to the legality of the 103rd Constitutional Amendment, which established a 10% reservation for members of economically weaker sections of society. With the 103rd Amendment Act, Articles 15(6) and 16(6) were added to the Constitution, granting EWS—those who did not belong to the SC, ST, or OBC—and whose annual family income was less than 8 lakh—10% reservation in employment and admissions.
