C.A. No. 629/2022
JARNAIL SINGH VS LACHHMI NARAIN GUPTA .
The Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court declined to refer the correctness of Nagraj to a Seven-Judge-Bench. The Court held that the declaration in Nagraj that quantifiable data should be collected for the purposes of determining backwardness and inadequacy of representation of SC and ST classes is contrary to the Nine-Judge-Bench decision in Indra Sawhney and hence incorrect. The Court also ruled that the doctrine of ‘creamy layer’ is applicable to reservations for SCs and STs and courts could themselves exclude the creamy layer from reservations. The judgment of the Court was authored by Justice Nariman.
