Supreme Court to Examine Centre's Plea for Prospective Application of OBC Creamy Layer Verdict
The Supreme Court agreed to consider the Centre's plea for prospective application of its March 11 ruling on OBC creamy-layer criteria. The judgment stated that a parent's salary or income from public or private sector employment alone cannot exclude OBC candidates from the creamy layer; the parent's post status and income tests must also be considered. The Centre seeks a two-year implementation window to avoid administrative disruption and requests transfer of related cases to the Supreme Court or a single High Court.
