Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether certificates of candidates from backward classes in states other than Delhi are valid for recruitment as primary and nursery teachers in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. The Court held that a candidate's OBC status is determined by their original state and cannot be transferred to another state for employment purposes. Consequently, the High Court's decision to allow candidates from outside Delhi to be considered for OBC benefits was overturned, affirming the need for certificates issued by Delhi authorities as per the relevant reservation policies.
