P.V.Indiresan vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the implementation of the 27% reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in Central Educational Institutions under the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Act, 2006. The Court clarified the meaning of 'cut-off marks' as per the earlier judgments, specifically in relation to the decision in Ashoka Kumar Thakur v. Union of India, holding that the cut-off for OBC students should be a maximum of 10 marks below that of the general category. The Court upheld the constitutionality of the CEI Act and emphasized the need for periodic review of the reservation policy.
