Supreme Court notice to central government over OBC creamy layer

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the central government on a lawsuit questioning an October 2008 government order that people of Other Backward Castes (OBC) earning annually Rs.450,000 or above alone would be categorised as creamy layer.

A bench of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and P. Sathasivam issued the notice on a petition filed by noted academician P.V. Inder Sen.
