The Supreme Court has given an important verdict on reserves. The Supreme Court has said that the state can not change the SC-ST list. If the states want to change the SC-ST list, then Parliament approval is required. The Supreme Court has said that Delhi will get reservation as per the central list. With this, the Supreme Court also said that one can get the benefit of reservation in one state and in other states it can not get the benefit of the reservation.
Reservation is governed by the Constitution, statutory laws, and local rules and regulations. The SCs, STs and OBCs, and in some states Backward Classes among Muslims under a category called BC(M), are the primary beneficiaries of the reservation policies. There have been protests from groups outside the system who feel that it is inequitable.
