Court provides you a verdict only on the basis of law. Law is made by the majority in the parliament. Parliaments do not act on the basis of what is right on wrong. We agree here.
On the issue of discrimination for 2000 years. This is not evidence based. You are talking about pre-historic period and that too can attributed only to SCs (not even STs) by the upper castes like OBCs and GCs. So it is OBCs who should make ways for Scs and STs not GCs.
Social discrimination was barred long ago. It does not have any logical correlationship with one's mental faculty.Mental faculty needed to perform in traditional schooling and higher edu system is there in everybody, it can not be changed 'genetically' in 2000 years of social stigma. Had that been the case, black people could never be successful in academia.
So the truth is not in court verdict, it is in our conscience. You ask your own conscience - is it the right way? Am I not taking the privileges wrongfully? Am I not reading less hours than this GC boy next doors, yet getting entry into better schools and colleges? You will get the truth. Look for the truth in yourself Mr. Krishna, not in court's verdict. Thank you.

Interesting points you raise:

Parliament is not a good judge.
SC is a stooge of the Parliament.
Caste based discrimination is a figment of imagination and there is no evidence.
There is no concept of genetic advantage.
Black people are successful in academia.
Truth is is one's conscience however biased that conscience might be!
