The story so far: The Supreme Court of India has said it will consider setting up a Bench to hear the Centre’s application seeking clarification over the court’s March 11 judgment on the income test component of the OBC creamy layer exclusion criteria.
Retrospectively implementing the Supreme Court’s March judgment on the income/wealth test for OBC creamy layer determination is “extremely difficult” and will cause a “cascading effect” in the settled services from 2012 till now, with the impact extending to “all categories, including the Unreserved category”, the Union government had told the Supreme Court of India in a batch of applications.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has argued that the Supreme Court’s Rohith Nathan judgment, if implemented retrospectively, will lead to a barrage of contestations from virtually anyone who had been denied a Non-Creamy Layer certificate or had not approached the authorities for one during recruitments, examinations, admissions, etc., citing the judgment.
