‘Children of IAS and IPS should not get the benefit of SC-ST reservation’, petition in SC, know what the court said?

supreme court news : A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court for not giving the benefits of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (SC and ST) reservation to the children of IAS and IPS officers. Starting the hearing, the court has refused to consider the petition. The Supreme Court bench said that it is the job of the Parliament to decide who should be given reservation and who should be kept out of it. The court cannot take any decision in this matter. The court said that it is necessary to bring a law in this matter, hence Parliament can take a decision on this issue.

The opinion of the Supreme Court was also included in the petition as support.

If the Supreme Court’s opinion of August 2024 was used as the basis in the application, the court has also given a clear answer to this. Justice BR Gavai said, ‘No order has been declared from our side. One judge of the seven-judge bench expressed this view and two other judges supported it. In that case, the court’s unanimous decision was that there should be sub-classification into SC and ST quota.

Earlier SC itself had expressed this opinion

Let us tell you that during the hearing of a case in August-2024, the Supreme Court bench had expressed the opinion that there should be a provision for creamy layer in the reservation of SC and ST. According to this, the children of those who are IAS or IPS under Dalit and Tribal quota should be kept out of the scope of reservation. In their place, those who could not come into the mainstream and are deprived, should be given a chance in the same category.

Earlier an application was filed in Madhya Pradesh High Court

Santosh Malviya, who filed this PIL, said that children of IAS and IPS officers in Madhya Pradesh should not get the benefit of reservation from SC and ST quota. Earlier, Madhya Pradesh Court had rejected his petition. After this the Supreme Court has also canceled the application. When Malviya filed an application in the MP court, the court said that you should file an application in the Supreme Court on this issue. Because the Supreme Court itself had given the opinion of creamy layer.
