Is this news item real?

I found this item pretty shocking:

…senior advocate K Parasaran, appearing for the Tamil Nadu Government said: “They (upper caste) dominated for centuries and now they should suffer.”

[Given the track record of CNN-IBN to manufacture news, I don’t know if this is entirely true (and I couldn’t confirm this with other newspapers/channels). ]

So, officially does TN state that its reservation policy is more against a community rather than for a class of people? I don’t know how a sernior advocate could make such an argument. Is there a legal basis for such an argument? I don’t know how such a statement was made in the apex court of the country!
