The exemption of the creamy layer from quota benefits is a constitutional obligation that must be adhered to by the government. “The Mandal Committee was founded by former Prime Minister Morarji Desai’s administration with the remit to “recognize the socially or educationally disadvantaged.” It was chaired by legislator Bindheshwari Prasad Mandal and was charged with examining the issue of seat reservations and quotas for people to remedy caste prejudice. The commission's report affirmed the affirmative action practice established under Indian law, under which members of lower castes (referred to as “Other Backward Classes” and “Scheduled Castes and Tribes”) were granted preferential access to a certain percentage of public service jobs and admission to state colleges, and suggested raising these quotas by twenty seven to forty nine point five percent, but leaving the creamy layer out of the review of reservations would be contradictory to deny the legitimacy of the “creamy layer” concept in other domains of application after its validity has been established in the provision of the constitution as well as many judicial decisions. As a result, putting the appeal of this principle to the test becomes crucial.
