New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to examine the Centre's plea seeking a prospective application of its March 11 verdict that had held that the salary or income of a parent employed in a PSU or the private sector could not by itself be treated as the determinative criterion for creamy-layer exclusion for the Other Backward Classes (OBC).
The Centre, represented by Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati, urged a bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana that the verdict be given a prospective effect, seeking a two-year window to implement the law laid down by the court and prevent disruption to past and ongoing recruitment processes.
