She meant that their promotions and other benefits would be affected. She said that the test laid down to determine the constitutional interpretation is incorrect in the\u00a0<em>Nagaraj<\/em>\u00a0judgment.<\/p>\n<p>In reference to\u00a0<em>Indra Sawhney\u00a0<\/em>judgment it is clear from your submissions that Creamy layer concept is only limited to OBC and not SC\/ST, Justice Nariman told Jaising.<\/p>\n<p>This case has come up from\u00a0the Delhi High Court, which, in August, 2017, quashed a DoPT Office Memorandum of August 13, 1997, which provided for the continuation of reservation in promotions indefinitely. The high court had passed the verdict in the light of the apex court constitution bench judgment in<em>\u00a0M Nagaraj<\/em>\u00a0(2006).<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the day\u2019s submissions senior counsel Dinesh Dwivedi had said that the\u00a0<em>Nagaraj<\/em>judgment did not cover all the issues. It needs reconsideration as it overlooks article 330 &amp; 335.<\/p>\n<p>The hearing continues next Wednesday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.wakilsahab.in\/news\/sc-st-promotions-case-supreme-court-hears-arguments-on-creamy-layer-and-inclusiveness\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"5\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source &#8211;\u00a0indialegallive.com The Supreme Court constitution bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices Kurian Joseph, Rohinton Fali Nariman, Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Indu Malhotra, hearing the case of continuation of reservation for promotions for SC\/ST candidates on Thursday (August 23) again discussed inclusiveness and the creamy layer.
