RAM SINGH vs UOI

The Supreme Court upheld the Notification dated 04.03.2014, which included the Jat Community in the Central List of Backward Classes for several states, rejecting the prior advice of the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) that had denied such inclusion. The Court emphasized that the Union Cabinet's decision was based on a comprehensive review of socio-economic conditions, aligning with the provisions of the National Commission for Backward Classes (Power to Review Advice) Rules, 2011. The Court affirmed that the inclusion was justified given the evolving socio-economic realities of the Jat Community.
