<h3>Abstract</h3>
<p>This article critiques the approach of treating Article 16(4) as a
mere enabling provision. It argues that Article 16(4) should be considered a
fundamental right, because of judicial interpretation given in the cases of State
of Kerala v. NM Thomas (1975) and Indra Sawhney v. Union of India (1992). I argue
that these judgments renewed the constitutional understanding about Article 16(4),
which had taken a backseat due to a series of judgments during the first two and
half decades after the enactment of the Constitution. I further state that the
judicial approach of still treating Article 16(4) as an enabling provision is a
result of breach of the precedent in Indra Sawhney. I add that the fundamental
right to seek reservation is available to Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled
Tribes (STs) by default, while it would be available to Other Backward Classes
(OBCs) after fulfilling the conditions propounded in Indra Sawhney. <P></p>
