Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of Articles 16(4), 341, and 342 of the Constitution regarding the entitlement of Scheduled Caste candidates to benefits in employment across different states. The Court noted that the decision in S. Pushpa was perceived as contrary to earlier Constitution Bench judgments and emphasized that a two-judge bench cannot declare a three-judge bench decision as per incuriam. The matter was referred to a larger bench for resolution of the interplay among the mentioned Articles, but the specific question was not answered in the appeal's disposition.
