印度高级法官敦促将富裕的在册种姓/在册部落成员排除在保留福利之外,以确保公平。 India's top judge urges excluding wealthy SC/ST members from reservation benefits to ensure fairness.

印度首席大法官BR Gavai重申,他支持将“奶层”排除在在册种姓保留津贴之外,认为高级官员的子女不应获得与贫穷家庭相同的好处。 Chief Justice of India BR Gavai reiterated his support for excluding the "creamy layer" from reservation benefits for Scheduled Castes, arguing that children of high-ranking officials should not receive the same advantages as impoverished families. 他在阿马拉瓦蒂的一次宪法活动上发言说,Indra Sawhney案的原则——对其他落后阶层适用奶油层概念——也应适用于在册种姓。 Speaking at a constitutional event in Amaravati, he said the principle from the Indra Sawhney case—applying the creamy layer concept to Other Backward Classes—should also apply to Scheduled Castes. 随着即将退休,他强调了《宪法》不断演变的性质、平等和正义的重要性,以及各州需要制定政策,查明富裕的在册种姓和在册部落个人并排除其保留福利。 With retirement imminent, he emphasized the Constitution’s evolving nature, the importance of equality and justice, and the need for states to create policies to identify and exclude affluent SC and ST individuals from reservation benefits. 他强调了印度在两性平等方面取得的进展,以及印度历史上在册种姓和在册部落领导人担任最高职务,包括现任在册部落妇女总统的历史。 He highlighted India’s progress in gender equality and its history of having SC and ST leaders in top offices, including a current ST-origin woman President.
