Supreme Court questions income-only creamy layer rule; ~100 OBC civil service candidates await posts
Nearly 100 OBC candidates who cleared the Civil Services Examination were denied reservation benefits after being classified under the creamy layer based solely on their parents' salaries.

The government has sought further clarification on applying this ruling to future civil services examinations. The affected candidates continue to await resolution after years of preparation and prolonged legal proceedings.
