Centre Asks Supreme Court for 2-Year Grace Period on OBC Creamy Layer Ruling
The Indian central government has requested a two-year window before the Supreme Court's OBC creamy layer verdict is enforced. The government is seeking what it calls a 'limited prospective overruling,' meaning the judgment would apply only going forward rather than immediately. Authorities argue that instant implementation could disrupt seniority structures, cadre allocations, and appointments already made under earlier recruitment processes. The concern is that candidates who were not part of the original litigation could be adversely affected by a sudden change in rules. The government's position reflects the administrative complexity of applying a landmark ruling retroactively across ongoing and completed recruitments.
