Dalit protesters ordered to sweep police stations as bail condition in Odisha
In a pattern activists are calling casteist, at least eight protesters from Rayagada district have been directed by courts to clean police premises as a condition of release
For nearly two months after he walked out of jail, 26-year-old Kumeswar Naik had to travel 20 kilometres every morning to sweep and mop the Kashipur Police Station – the very station where he had once been detained.
Naik, a Dalit grocery store owner from Kantamal village in Odisha’s Rayagada district, had spent five months in jail for protesting against a bauxite mining project by Vedanta Ltd in the Tijimali hills. When the Orissa High Court granted him bail in May 2025, it came with a condition that he was to clean the police station premises every morning between 6 am and 9 am.

Jalaun: Dalit organizations demand beautification of Dr. Ambedkar statues, submit memorandum to CM with ground report of 134 villages
At the conclusion of Dr. Ambedkar Month in Jalaun, Dalit organizations raised their demands, submitting a memorandum to the CM for the beautification and protection of statues in 134 villages.
Orai (Jalaun). Dr. Ambedkar Month, organized by the Bundelkhand Dalit Rights Forum and the Dalit Honor and Justice Center, concluded today. On this occasion, a team of social organizations reached the District Magistrate’s office and submitted a memorandum addressed to the Chief Minister. This memorandum raised the important demand for surveying and beautifying Dr. Ambedkar statues installed throughout Uttar Pradesh.
Dalit Honor and Justice meetings were held in more than 135 villages of the district during Ambedkar Month. The 14-member team that reached the District Magistrate’s office for the closing ceremony included Tehsil Coordinator Pradeep Kumar, Saneshraja, Usha Devi, Devendra Anil, Sachin Chaudhary, Anita, and Surendra, along with Adv. Nikhat Praveen, Adv. Ajay Singh, Adv. Kiran Mehra and other activists participated. These activists conducted a campaign to educate and raise awareness among the community throughout the month of April.
During the campaign, activists conducted a group recitation of the Preamble of the Indian Constitution and compiled the problems of people in rural areas. The memorandum stated that in many villages, underprivileged families lack access to government schemes. Furthermore, problems such as the accumulation of garbage near the statues of Baba Saheb and the poor condition of drains have also become prominent.
The organization has prepared a detailed status report of the statues of Dr. Ambedkar installed in 134 gram panchayats of the district. The survey revealed that in many places, the statues are in urgent need of beautification. In some villages, there is controversy over the installation of statues, while in others, illegal occupation of government and village community land allotted in Baba Saheb’s name has been discovered.
High Court advocate Kuldeep Kumar Bauddh said on this occasion that true respect for Baba Saheb is possible only by following his principles. They welcomed the ₹403 crore “Dr. Ambedkar Statue Development Scheme” approved by the Chief Minister on April 7, 2026. They emphasized that this scheme must be implemented effectively at the grassroots level to ensure proper development of the statues.
The memorandum primarily demanded that a district-wise survey of statues installed across the state be conducted and an official list be released. Beautification work should be completed soon by ensuring umbrellas, boundary walls, CCTV cameras, and greenery near the statues in the 134 identified villages of Jalaun district.
The organizations also demanded that villagers who wish to install Dr. Ambedkar statues in their areas through the Panchayat should be granted easy permission and approval from the district administration. The memorandum clarified that the installation of new statues should be ensured with respect and administrative support.

Why has the creamy layer debate returned to court?
Is the current push based on a misreading of the judgment? Can income be used as a proxy?
Published - April 30, 2026 08:30 am IST

Fresh petitions before the Supreme Court are seeking to extend the creamy layer principle to SC/ST reservations, based on a misreading of the 2024 Davinder Singh judgment. The move revives a decades-old debate about whether income can serve as a proxy for caste-based disadvantage, and whether social justice can be trapped inside an economic test.On March 10, the Supreme Court issued notice to the Centre and all States on a public interest litigation filed by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay seeking the exclusion of a “creamy layer” from SC/ST reservations. A separate plea, filed in February, sought an income-based prioritisation mechanism within these quotas. Both petitions claim constitutional sanction from the same source: the seven-judge bench decision in State of Punjab v. Davinder Singh (2024).
Creamy Layer in SC/ST Reservation
Why in News?
The Supreme Court is examining fresh petitions seeking to apply the “creamy layer” principle to SC/ST reservations, a move that misinterprets the State of Punjab v. Davinder Singh Case, 2024. It revives the contentious question of whether economic status can override caste-based social disadvantage.
What are the Key Facts Regarding the State of Punjab vs Davinder Singh Case, 2024?
- About: It is a landmark judgment that has fundamentally reshaped the legal landscape of reservations in India by addressing the internal diversity within the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs).
- Core Ruling: In a 6:1 majority verdict, the Supreme Court held that state governments have the power to create sub-classifications within the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes for the purpose of granting preferential reservation benefits.
- Key Highlights of the Judgment:
- Overruled E.V. Chinnaiah (2004): The Court overruled its previous decision in E.V. Chinnaiah v. State of Andhra Pradesh Case 2004, which had held that SCs were a "homogeneous" group and could not be subdivided.
- Substantive Equality: The SC/ST categories are not uniform blocks. Some sub-groups are "more backward" and have not benefited from reservations as much as others. Sub-classification is seen as a tool to achieve true equality for the "weakest of the weak."
- Empirical Data Requirement: The Court mandated that any sub-classification must be based on quantifiable and empirical data showing inadequate representation and relative backwardness. It cannot be done based on political whims.
- The "Creamy Layer" Debate: 4 of the 7 judges expressed the view that the "creamy layer" principle (excluding the relatively affluent/advanced members of a backward class from reservation) should also be applied to SCs and STs to ensure benefits reach the truly needy.
- Legislative Competence: The Court clarified that while only the President (under Article 341) can identify which castes belong in the SC list, the states have the power under Articles 15(4) and Articles 16(4) to decide how to distribute reservation benefits among those identified castes.
Creamy Layer Principle
- About: The Creamy Layer Principle is a legal concept used in India to identify and exclude the relatively wealthy and educated members of a backward community from the benefits of reservation (affirmative action).
- Origin: The principle was formally introduced by the Supreme Court in the landmark Indra Sawhney v. Union of India Case (1992).
- While the court upheld the 27% reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs), it mandated that the "creamy layer" must be excluded to ensure the benefits are not cornered by a few.
- It is based on the idea of "Relative Equality"—treating unequals as equals (a wealthy person vs. a poor person within the same caste) would violate the right to equality.
- Current Criteria (OBCs): The government currently uses two primary filters to identify the creamy layer:
- Status/Post Filter: Children of persons holding Constitutional posts (President, Judges, etc.) or Group A/Class I and Group B/Class II officers in the government are automatically excluded, regardless of their actual income.
- Income Filter: For those not in government service, an income ceiling is set. Currently, if the parents’ annual income (excluding salary and agricultural income) exceeds Rs 8 lakh for three consecutive years, the candidate falls in the creamy layer.
What Concerns are Associated with the Application of Creamy Layer Principle to SC/ST Reservations?
- Caste vs. Class Distinction: The caste-based disadvantage is not a product of poverty, but of social exclusion. Unlike Class (which is fluid), Caste is "enclosed." An increase in income does not automatically result in a corresponding increase in social status or the erasure of untouchability.
- Even wealthy SC/ST individuals may lack the "social capital" or networking power that their counterparts in the general category possess.
- Creamy Layer Trap: There is a significant risk that the income ceiling for the creamy layer is set too low, creating a "trap" for the emerging middle class within these communities.
- As seen in the Union of India v. Rohith Nathan Case, 2026, treating parental salary as the sole disqualifier ignores the fact that a first-generation officer still carries the burden of historical social subordination.
- Myth of Elite Capture: Research indicates that the positive impact of quota policy is actually most concentrated among less-educated SC members in rural areas, suggesting the current system is reaching its intended targets.
- Constitutional and Legal Deviations: Inclusion in the SC/ST list (Articles 341 and 342) was never conditioned on poverty; it was based on historical "untouchability" (for SCs) and geographical isolation/tribal traits (for STs).
- Legal experts worry that the Indra Sawhney logic (intended for OBCs) is being incorrectly "grafted" onto SC/STs without acknowledging that the latter face a unique type of systemic discrimination.
- Erosion of Representative Diversity: Reservations in India are intended to ensure representation in the halls of power, not just to act as a poverty alleviation scheme. By excluding the educated and relatively affluent "creamy layer," the State may inadvertently remove the most articulate and empowered voices of the community from the bureaucracy and academia, weakening the community's overall influence.
What Steps are Needed for Better Representation of SC/STs in Reservations?
- Targeted Distribution: Instead of treating the SC/ST categories as monolithic blocks, the state should use sub-classification of SCs and STs to ensure that the most marginalized sub-groups get dedicated quotas. It will prevent the "hoarding" of benefits by a few advanced sub-groups and achieve intra-category equity.
- Filling the Backlog Vacancies: Regularly conduct drives specifically to fill backlog vacancies (which are exempt from the 50% ceiling under the 81st Constitutional Amendment, 2000.
- Ensure that reserved seats do not "lapse" into the general category if not filled in a particular year, but are carried forward indefinitely until a suitable candidate is found.
- Capacity Building: Representation fails if candidates cannot clear the benchmarks for higher-level posts. Focused training in soft skills, interview etiquette, and professional communication to bridge the "cultural gap" that often hinders candidates during personality tests. E.g., National Career Service Centres (NCSCs) for SC/ST offer Confidence Building Programmes, personality development, and vocational guidance to handle interview environments.
- Sensitisation of Interview Boards: Strengthening diversity on interview boards (UPSC/State PSCs) is critical. Boards should be trained to distinguish between merit and privilege (e.g., separating a candidate's "English fluency" from their "intellectual depth")
- Reservation in Promotion: Following the M. Nagaraj (2006) and Jarnail Singh (2018) guidelines, states must collect data on the "inadequacy of representation" at higher grades to justify and implement reservations in promotions with consequential seniority. As of 2026, several states, including Bihar, Telangana and Karnataka, have conducted caste census to gather empirical data for sub-classification and reservation policies.
Conclusion
The debate over the "creamy layer" in SC/ST reservations highlights the tension between economic advancement and persistent social stigma. While sub-classification ensures intra-group equity, applying income-based exclusion risks diluting the core objective of substantive equality, as caste-based disadvantage transcends financial status and remains a matter of systemic social representation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Which constitutional amendment protects 'backlog vacancies' from the 50% ceiling?
The 81st Constitutional Amendment (2000) added Article 16(4B), allowing backlog vacancies to be treated as a separate class not subject to the 50% limit.
2. What was the primary shift from E.V. Chinnaiah (2004) to Davinder Singh (2024)?
The Court shifted from viewing SCs as a "homogeneous unit" to recognizing internal diversity, thereby permitting states to sub-divide them for preferential treatment.
3. On what grounds are SC/ST communities included in the Presidential List?
Inclusion is based on historical untouchability (for SCs) and geographical isolation or primitive traits (for STs), rather than economic poverty.
