#caste certificate validity

Karnataka High Court mandates acceptance of valid 2017-18 caste certificates for Common Entrance Test registration, ensuring students' educational rights under internal reservation categories. The ruling grants a 21-day compliance window, reinforcing administrative accountability in caste certificate validation.

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that an OBC certificate issued by the petitioner's origin state (Uttar Pradesh) does not entitle her to reservation benefits in Madhya Pradesh, even if the caste is recognized in both states. The judgment underscores that reservation benefits are state-specific and non-transferable, impacting inter-state migrants seeking public employment under OBC quotas.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that OBC caste certificates issued by other states are valid for reservation in MP if the community is recognized in both states, reinforcing non-arbitrariness in public employment.
