The satisfaction of human wants and desires is the main duty of law. In the primitive society, one class used to rule over others by making caste system and fulfilled their own interests only. The weaker sections then had no any such status that was being used by the strong one. The constitution of India provides the equal status and of opportunity to develop the human personality to all disregarding their castes but by providing through caste system that some has been found backward socially and educationally in lower caste sections. This reservation system might act as a tool of ‘social engineering’ that could have balanced the competing interests of all the castes in our present society. Despite, incorporating this promoting system of reservation in India throughout, it becomes more burning issue countrywide. The idea of ‘maximum wants with a minimum friction’ here seems to get failed. To make the system more efficacious, no one wants to give some least sacrifice and this politically organised society is enjoying their existence by making the propaganda of distributing the free Adam’s apple of reservation.
