P.V.INDIRESAN vs UNION OF INDIA .

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 decision in Ashoka Kumar Thakur v. Union of India, emphasizing that the cut-off for OBCs should be a maximum of 10 marks below that of the general category. The Court upheld the constitutional validity of the CEI Act and directed that any unfilled OBC seats should revert to the general category, ensuring adherence to the principles established in prior judgments.
