Published · Updated
AI-generated summary of the coverage listed below: The Supreme Court has reserved its decision on a request from the central government to postpone the implementation of a March 11 ruling that redefines the “creamy layer” within the OBC reservation framework. The government argues that applying the verdict retrospectively would disrupt recruitment, service and cadre allocations, seniority, admissions and overall OBC reservation administration, potentially affecting hundreds of thousands of people. The court’s pending order will determine whether the changes take effect immediately or after a two‑year delay.
