Chief Justice of India (CJI) BR Gavai on Sunday affirmed that he is still for exclusion of creamy layer in reservations to Scheduled Castes.
CJI BR Gavai
‘Addressing a programme “India and the Living Indian Constitution at 75 Years”, Gavai opined that children of an IAS officer cannot be equated with the offsprings of a poor agricultural labourer when it comes to reservations.
“I also went further and took a view that the concept of creamy layer, as has been found in the judgment of Indra Sawhney (vs Union of India & Others). What is applicable to the Other Backward Classes, should also be made applicable to Scheduled Castes, though my judgment has been widely criticised on that issue,” Gavai said.
“But I still hold that judges are not supposed to normally justify their judgments, and I still have about a week to go (retirement),” CJI Gavai added.
