- The Supreme Court ruled that the reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) is only ‘statutory’, unlike the ‘constitutional’ reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
- It also said that if the reservation for SCs and STs were to consume the entire 50% of seats of SCs/STs/OBCs in the concerned local bodies, the question of providing further reservation to OBCs would not arise.
- The quantum of reservation for OBCs ought to be local body specific.
- A dedicated Commission has to be set up to conduct empirical inquiry into the nature and implications of the backwardness qua local bodies, within the State.
- The proportion of reservation required to be provisioned local body wise would be specified in light of recommendations of the Commission.
