Supreme Court to consider special bench for Centre's plea on OBC creamy-layer criteria
The Supreme Court agreed to consider setting up a special bench to hear the Centre's plea seeking clarification on the applicability of its March 11 judgment on OBC creamy-layer criteria to Civil Services Examination (CSE) 2025 candidates. The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has sought permission to allocate services to 958 candidates recommended by UPSC based on the criteria used before the verdict.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to consider setting up a special bench to hear the Centre's plea seeking clarification on the applicability of its March 11 judgment on OBC creamy-layer criteria to candidates of the Civil Services Examination (CSE) 2025.
The plea was filed by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), which is seeking directions to allow the government to proceed with service allocation for the 958 candidates recommended by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for CSE-2025. The DoPT wants the allocation to be based on the OBC creamy-layer determination that was applied before the Supreme Court's March 11 verdict.
During the proceedings, a bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana was informed by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, that the DoPT had filed a miscellaneous application in the matter.
The court agreed to consider the request for a special bench, but no final decision was reported in the available information. The clarification sought by the Centre concerns whether the March 11 judgment applies to the current selection cycle or only to future examinations.
