No need to identify creamy layer Tamil Nadu tells SC

New Delhi, Feb 26 (UNI) The state of Tamil Nadu today told the Supreme Court that there was no need to identify creamy layer among OBCs for exclusion from the benefits of reservation as no person in the state has complained that he or she is aggrieved by the reservation policy of the government.

The state also told the bench comprising Justice C K Thakker and V S Sirpurkar that the order passed in case of the state of Kerala was not applicable for Tamil Nadu as the matter is already pending before this court.

The Supreme Court had last week directed that the creamy layer must be excluded from the benefits of reservation as this class denies the benefit to the really deserving candidates belonging to the reverved category of OBCs, SCs and STs. The apex court had quashed the report of justice Narendran Committee appointed by the Kerala government.

Tamil Nadu has 69 per cent reservation in violation of the Supreme Court judgement in Mandal Commission case fixing 50 per cent as the upper limit for the reservation.
