Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the question of whether a person belonging to a Scheduled Caste in one State is entitled to benefits in another State under Articles 16(4), 341, and 342 of the Constitution. The Court noted the conflicting views between a three-judge bench and earlier two-judge bench decisions, emphasizing that the latter's ruling was obiter and not binding. The matter was referred to a larger bench for resolution of the interplay between the mentioned Articles regarding reservation in employment for Backward Classes.
