Supreme Court: Centre Says Creamy Layer Not Applicable to SC/ST Reservation
The Indian government informed the Supreme Court that the 'creamy layer' principle cannot be applied to reservations for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST). This clarification was presented to the apex court during a hearing. The government's stance is that the creamy layer concept, which limits benefits to the less affluent within a group, is not compatible with the constitutional provisions for SC/ST reservation.
