The President’s inclusion of classes and communities in the Central List for SEBC “shall be deemed to include SEBCs in relation to each State and Union Territory”.
The government has filed a review petition in the Supreme Court challenging a majority view of its Constitution Bench that only the Centre has the power under the 102nd Constitution Amendment to identify and list Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) and not States. The Social Justice Ministry said in a statement on Thursday: “As provided in the Supreme Court Rules, 2013, a review petition for review of the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court has been filed by the Union of India on May 13, 2021.” The majority view led by Justice S. Ravindra Bhat on the Bench had held a “different view” from the one held by Justices Bhushan and S. Abdul Nazeer.More Related News
