Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that a person belonging to a scheduled caste in one state is not entitled to the benefits of reservation in employment in another state, as per the interpretation of Articles 341 and 342 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that while individuals have the right to migrate, they do not carry over the special rights or privileges associated with their scheduled caste status from their original state. The High Court's decision to quash the termination orders of the respondents was set aside, affirming the State's reservation policy.
