Orders in this case
Summary: State of Punjab v. Davinder Singh (2024) Case Citation: C.A. No. 2317/2011 | 2024 INSC 562 Key Decision: The Supreme Court (7-Judge Constitution Bench) held that sub-classification of Scheduled Castes for reservation purposes is constitutionally permissible, overruling the prior judgment in E.V. Chinnaiah v. State of Andhra Pradesh. Core Holding: Sub-classification within Scheduled Castes does not violate Articles 14, 15, 16, or 341 of the Constitution, provided it is based on empirical data demonstrating inter-se backwardness and inadequate representation of the sub-group, and does not exclude any caste from the Presidential List.
