Venugopal submitted the party in power took the decision for private gain.
Pursuant to the court's April 1 order, the Centre today placed before the bench all materials/documents and files, including the decision of the Union Cabinet, on the issue of considering the inclusion of Jats in the OBC list.
The bench asked senior advocate K Parasaran, appearing for the Centre, that all the materials placed before it should be filed in the form of counter-affidavit.
'We want to know what is the basis for this order (for including Jats in OBC list),' the bench said. Parasaran submitted that the reasons are there in the records.
