SC/ST MEMBERS FROM ONE STATE CAN’T CLAIM QUOTA IN ANOTHER STATE: SUPREME COURT


The Supreme Court ruled that a person belonging to a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe listed in a particular state would not be entitled to reservation benefits if he migrates to another state for employment or education. However the court added that “pan-India reservation” would apply in the case of Delhi. This means that in Delhi, for both central services and those under the union territory, reservation will be open to all SCs/ STs from across the country. The verdict came on as many as eight petitions that had raised the issue whether an SC/ST community member in one state can seek reservation in another state where his caste is not notified as SC/ST.
