💨 Abstract

The Supreme Court has dismissed review pleas on its August 1 judgment that allows states to make sub-classifications within Scheduled Castes (SCs) for granting reservation. A seven-judge bench ruled there is no error in the record and no case for review has been established. The court clarified that any sub-classification should be based on quantifiable data of backwardness and representation in government jobs, not on political expediency.
