The Union Cabinet has cleared a Constitution amendment bill that will give power to states and UTs to make their own OBC lists. The bill will now be introduced in Parliament for passage. The Opposition today said it will extend its support to the Constitution amendment bill
The Supreme Court has dismissed the Centre’s plea seeking review of the May 5 majority verdict which held that the 102nd Constitution amendment took away states’ power to declare Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) for grant of quota in jobs and admissions.
The 102nd Constitution Amendment Act of 2018 inserted Articles 338B, which deals with the structure, duties and powers of the National Commission for Backward Classes, while 342A deals with powers of the President to notify a particular caste as SEBC and power of Parliament to change the list.
