The Supreme Court on August 25 said it would consider constituting a special bench to examine the Centre’s request for directions on applying its March 11 ruling on OBC creamy-layer criteria to the Civil Services Examination (CSE) 2025.
The Centre has approached the court seeking permission to complete the service allocation process for 958 candidates recommended by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), based on the OBC creamy-layer criteria that were in force when the examination process was conducted.
