Central Government tells Supreme Court creamy layer does not apply to SC/ST reservation

The Indian government has informed the Supreme Court that the creamy layer principle, which excludes economically advanced individuals from reservation benefits, cannot be applied to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. In an affidavit, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment argued that reservation for these groups is based on historical and social criteria rather than economic status alone. The government urged the court to dismiss petitions seeking to introduce income-based exclusions for these communities, asserting that only Parliament has the authority to amend the lists of eligible populations.
