Government seeks prospective application of Supreme Court verdict on OBC creamy-layer criteria to prevent ‘chaos’
The Indian Express reports that the government has urged the Supreme Court to give it a reasonable timeframe of two or more years to operationalise its March 11, 2026 judgement on OBC creamy-layer criteria. The government argues that applying the changed eligibility criterion retrospectively could cause administrative chaos, uncertainty, and discrimination against OBC aspirants.
The Centre contends that retrospective application may affect ongoing and past recruitment processes, admissions to central and state educational and professional institutions, and could lead to several "harsh and unjust unintended consequences" for employees and appointees.
