Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether a scheduled caste individual from one state is entitled to employment benefits in another state. Citing Articles 14, 16, 19, and 21, the Court held that while scheduled caste individuals have constitutional rights, they do not carry over special privileges from their original state to another. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the termination of the respondents' appointments, affirming that the reservation policy must be adhered to as per the state of employment.
