Abstract
Indian jurisprudence on reservation has traditionally taken a narrow view. It often frames special provisions as exceptions to the right to equality (Articles 14, 15(1), and 16(1)) or as merely enabling provisions, rather than as an integral element of it. This approach has led to reservation being seen as a compromise with efficiency or a measure of poverty alleviation, rather than a means of ensuring efficiency through diversity. However, the fact is that the Supreme Court judgment on sub-categorisation, i.e., quotas within quotas, correctly acknowledges the diversity within SC/ST groups. It upholds the validity of sub-categorisation. It also introduces the idea of applying the creamy layer principle to SC/ST reservations. The concept of creamy layer was earlier limited to OBC reservations.
