Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Central Administrative Tribunal's decision that migrant Scheduled Caste candidates who migrated after the 1964 Presidential notification cannot claim reservation benefits for employment in the Union Territory of Pondicherry, as per Article 341 of the Constitution. The Court affirmed the Tribunal's ruling that the selection of such candidates was illegal and directed a review of the selection process to exclude these candidates. The judgment emphasized the importance of adhering to the specified criteria for reservation under the Constitution.
