New Delhi,
\nThe Union Cabinet today approved a proposal for setting up a commission under Article 340 of the Constitution to examine the issue of sub-categorisation of the Other Backward Classes (OBCs).<\/p>\n
The \u201cCommission to Examine the Sub-categorisation of Other Backward Classes\u201d will submit its report within 12 weeks from the date of appointment of chairperson.<\/p>\n
It will examine the extent of inequitable distribution of reservation benefits among the castes\/communities included in the broad category of OBCs, with reference to OBCs in the Central list.<\/p>\n
The commission will also work out the mechanism, criteria, norms and parameters for sub-categorisation within such OBCs, take up the exercise of identifying the respective castes\/communities\/sub-castes\/synonyms in the Central list of OBCs and classify them into sub-categories.<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court in its 1992 order had observed that there was no constitutional or legal bar to a state categorising Backward Classes as backward or more backward and that if a state chooses to do it (sub-categorisation), it is not impermissible in law.<\/p>\n
Haryana, Andhra, Telangana, Puducherry, Karnataka, Jharkhand, WB, Bihar, Maharashtra and TN have already carried out sub-categorisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
