Here in this case, I feel somebody is tricking some body either judge is tricking govt lawyer or govt lawyer is tricking judge. <BR/>Government clearly knows that it is impossible to define creamy layer limit if court clears OBC reservation in local bodies. <BR/>We all know that only unsalaried middle class participate in local body elections because rich people eyes on only MLA and MP elections. <BR/>It is impossible to define creamy layer for this unsalaried and untaxable middle class sector. Even if creamy layer limit could be defined it would be only <BR/>very manipulative and an eye wash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15602189.post-1968000424324299442008-11-12T10:41:00.000+05:302008-11-12T10:41:00.000+05:30That was not a sound argument, because the concept...That was not a sound argument, because the concept of creamy layer was developed in a specific context and for a specific purpose and extending it like this would create more problems.I am not for reservations for OBCS in local bodies and support the reservation for women in local bodies.Bringing in creamy layer in electroal sphere has many implications, all of which may not be clear now.The right to contest and represent are very different from the rights one is entitled to on account of reservations in education and<BR/>employment. The issues before the<BR/>Court in Indra Sawhney and Ashok<BR/>Thakkur were specific and were raised in the given context. The debate had nothing to do with reservation for OBCS in local bodies. By no means they could be construed as issues on defining OBCS for all purposes and in all contexts.Extending creamy layer to<BR/>electoral sphere could be challenged on the grounds of equality because the right to contest cannot be linked with<BR/>one's income and status.It goes<BR/>against the very principle of<BR/>equality enshrined in the constitution.ரவி ஸ்ரீநிவாஸ்https://www.blogger.com/profile/10176389904737294055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15602189.post-70800095233616126442008-11-11T20:59:00.000+05:302008-11-11T20:59:00.000+05:30Govt accepts creamy layer and after amendment got ...Govt accepts creamy layer and after amendment got validated then raises the creamy layer to such an extent that there is no meaning to creamy layer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
