Supreme Court Issues Notice On Plea Against Calcutta HC's Judgement Scraping OBC Classification Of Communities & Cancelling OBC

The Supreme Court has set aside a judgment by the Calcutta High Court that scrapped the OBC classification of 37 communities. The apex court's decision reinstates the OBC status of these communities, ensuring their continued access to reservations and other benefits. The Supreme Court found that the High Court had overstepped its jurisdiction in invalidating the classifications without adequate grounds. This ruling reinforces the importance of maintaining established criteria for OBC classifications and the judicial limits in altering such classifications. It highlights the court's role in protecting the rights and privileges of marginalized communities under existing laws.
