Supreme Court reserves order on Centre's plea to defer OBC creamy layer ruling

The Supreme Court reserved its order on a plea filed by the Centre seeking to defer the implementation of the OBC creamy layer ruling delivered on March 11. The government asked the court to apply the ruling prospectively from a future date, effectively delaying its retrospective effect by two years. After hearing arguments from both sides, the bench indicated it will deliver its judgment at a later date, leaving the current status of the ruling unchanged for now.
