Union Of India vs Rohit Nandan

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal of the Union of India, reversing the High Court's decision that had reinstated the respondent's Scheduled Caste status. The Court held that the respondent, originally categorized as Other Backward Class (OBC) based on his 'Tanti' caste, could not be classified as Scheduled Caste following the State Government's Gazette Notification dated 02.07.2015, which removed 'Tanti' from the OBC list. The Court emphasized that the respondent's claim to Scheduled Caste status was not valid as per the Presidential order and the relevant legal framework.
