New Delhi : In a significant ruling, a Constitution bench of the Supreme Court on Thursday held that the scheduled castes or tribes can avail benefit of reservation in government jobs only in their home
states and they cannot access quotas in other states where they might have migrated.
A five judge bench of Justices Ranjan Gogoi, N. V. Ramana, R. Banumathi, M. M. Shanthanagoudar and S. Abdul Nazeer said a person from the SC or ST category should not claim benefits in another state or Union Territory. Upholding the " son of the soil " principle, the bench said if a person's status migrates with him it will amount to depriving the rights of SCs or STs of the host state. ............
