Government seeks two-year transition for OBC creamy-layer ruling
The government has asked the Supreme Court for a two-year window to implement its judgment on the OBC creamy layer, according to NDTV. It is seeking a limited prospective application, arguing that immediate use in earlier and ongoing recruitment could disrupt seniority, cadre allocation and appointments involving people who were not parties to the case.
The government has asked for a two-year window to implement the Supreme Court’s judgment concerning the OBC creamy layer, according to NDTV. It has sought what it calls a “limited prospective overruling” of the ruling. The request would restrict the immediate effect of the judgment rather than apply it fully to earlier and ongoing recruitment, as described in the supplied material.
The government says immediate application could unsettle seniority, cadre allocation and appointments. It also argues that such changes could affect candidates who were not parties to the litigation. The material does not provide the court’s original ruling, the government’s proposed implementation date or a response from the petitioners and other parties.
It also does not say whether the Supreme Court has accepted or rejected the requested transition period.
