‘Unsustainable in law’: SC rules OBC creamy layer status cannot be decided on income alone

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the determination whether a candidate falls within the creamy layer or the non-creamy layer of the OBCs cannot be decided solely on the basis of the income.“Determination of creamy layer status solely on the basis of income brackets, without reference to the categories of posts and status parameters is clearly unsustainable in law,” the top court observed.
