M.C.D. vs VEENA

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of OBC certificates issued in states other than Delhi for recruitment as primary and nursery teachers in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. The Court held that candidates from outside Delhi cannot claim OBC status based on certificates from their home states, as the determination of OBC status must be made in relation to the state of employment. The High Court's order allowing such claims was set aside, reinforcing the need for local certification for OBC status in Delhi under Article 16 of the Constitution.
