Court ruling clarified eligibility; amendment removes ambiguity for Tamil-medium job seekers

The Madras High Court previously ruled that serving officials could not invoke the Tamil‑medium quota. To resolve the resulting confusion, the state government drafted a clarification bill that was passed in the assembly and signed by the Governor. The revised law standardises verification by requiring candidates to furnish certificates proving Tamil‑medium study at every institution attended, thereby preventing false claims and safeguarding the reservation for genuine Tamil‑educated candidates.
