Supreme Court Examines ‘Creamy Layer’ System in SC/ST Reservation
• The Supreme Court is considering a petition to introduce a system similar to the ‘creamy layer’ concept in Other Backward Classes (OBC) for equitable reservation benefits among Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (SC/ST) communities.
• The petition, filed by Ramashankar Prajapati, argues that the current reservation policy disproportionately benefits well-off groups within SCs and STs, while the most deprived members continue to suffer from extreme poverty.
• The petition seeks a two-tier reservation system, prioritizing individuals from economically weaker sections before extending benefits to the well-off.
• The reform proposal does not aim to abolish or undermine caste-based reservations but to refine them more effectively.
• The case is expected to be carefully handled due to the sensitivity of the reservation policy and potential divergent views.
Creamy Layer in SC/STs is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
