supreme court

The Supreme Court ruled that state governments can sub-classify Scheduled Castes for reservations in education and jobs, overruling the 2004 E.V. Chinnaiah judgment. Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud emphasized that Scheduled Castes are not a homogenous group. Justice B.R. Gavai supported identifying a creamy layer within SC/ST communities to ensure real equality. Justice Bela M. Trivedi dissented, arguing that States cannot alter the Presidential List.
