Non-Creamy Layer Certificate | Income of Applicant Alone Cannot Invalidate NCL Without Explicit Policy Clause: Bombay HC
Bombay HC ruled that cancellation of a Non-Creamy Layer certificate without hearing violates natural justice, and retrospective application of a 2023 policy cannot override invalid 2001 criteria. The court restored the petitioner's Associate Professor appointment, emphasizing that failure to maintain interim relief does not forfeit substantive rights under reservation policy.
