Constitution of India<\/a> — Arts. 14<\/a> to 16<\/a>, 341<\/a> and 342<\/a> — Reservation:<\/span> Sub-classification of a reserved class including Scheduled Castes, held (per majority), permissible. Further held (per majority), creamy layer principle is also applicable to Scheduled Castes. Indra Sawhney, 1992 Supp (3) SCC 217<\/a>, elucidated the following three principles with respect to subclassification: (a) Sub-categorisation within a class is a constitutional requirement to secure substantive equality in the event that there is a distinction between two sections of a class; (b) Sub-classification must not lead to the exclusion of one of the categories in the class. A model that provides sufficient opportunities to all categories of the class must be adopted; and (c) Sub-classification among a class must be on a reasonable basis. That the distinction between the categories must be substantial. Sub-categorisation must be reasonable, [State of Punjab<\/span> v. Davinder Singh<\/span>, (2025) 1 SCC 1<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
