Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of reservation for Hindu Nadars and Christian Nadars under the Kerala State & Subordinate Services Rules, 1958. The Court held that both communities are distinct and should be treated separately for the purpose of reservation, affirming the entitlement of Hindu Nadars to 1% reservation as part of Other Backward Classes. The judgment clarified the classification of these communities and upheld the government's decision to revise reservation percentages based on social and educational backwardness.
