Justice Bhagwati has warned that “the concept of domicile, if used for a purpose other than its legitimate purpose, may give rise to lethal radiations which may in the long run tend to break up the unity and integrity of the country”. Some people have the idea that local domicile concept is fallacious in India because every citizen has the right to move freely, reside and settle in any part of the country. But domicile status can be used to grant a privilege only if there is some justifiable context like discrimination. Judiciary on the other hand have the utopian vision that the domicile reservation in NLUs will lead to development and progress of state. The present article will analyse the arguments from both side of debate of whether reservation is beneficial or bring more harm than good in the country and then conclude with the view that the policy of domicile reservation is threat to unity and integrity of country in ling run.
