The Supreme Court has given an important decision regarding OBC creamier. The court clarified that income and salary from agriculture will not be the criteria for determining creamier. This decision has given great relief to OBCs, and justice will be given to the candidates who were wrongly rejected. The central government's review petition has been rejected, which is being considered a big victory for OBCs.

The Supreme Court rejected the Centre's plea on the OBC creamy layer and upheld its March 11 decision, directing the appointment of eligible IAS, IPS, and other selected candidates.
