The Srd Backward Classes Commission submitted ils report to the Government on 7-4-1990 and this report was prepared as per the guidelines issued by the Supreme Court of India to ascertain the classes of persons who have to be classified as Backward Classes, ‘This report was submitted after an elaborate investigation and collection of data and examination of such data thereby determining the socially and educationally Backward Classes in the State. While the report was under the Government's consideration, the Supreme Court of India has given its judgement on 16-11-1992 relating to reservation for socially and educationally Backward Classes in particular on the implementation of Mandal Commission Report While going through the various recommendations of the Chinnappa Reddy Commission Report, Government felt that the said report requires some modifications and additions in view of the Mandal, Commission Report and the reports of the Other Backward Classes Commissions constituted by the Government earlier.‘The Government have received more than 200 representations from individuals and associations regarding 15.4 inclusion of castes in the Backward Classes list. These representations have been considered very carefully by the fovernment. In addition, it has been brought (0 the notice of the Government that while Mandal Commission recognised the need to include rural Vokkaliga in the Backward Classes list, similar consideration was not given to other communities that are essentially rural and agricultural. Afler a detailed examination af these representations and aftr taking note of the fact that Mandal comantssion has included the rural vokkaligas in the Backward Classes list, Government feel it necessary {0 create one more new category besides the 3 categories of Backward Classes formulated by the Justice © Chinnappa Reddy in his report, to give adequate reservation quota both under Article 15 (4) and 16 (4) of the Constitution of india to people who are residing in rural areas like Veerashalva Lingayath, Christian, Marathas, Kodagaru, Bunts and Vokkaligas along with their synonyms. Further the Government after careful examination has come to the conclusion that adequate representation has not been made under Article 16(4) of the Constitution of India for Backward Classes in the State ‘The Supreme Court of India has given its direction to adopt the Creamy Layer principle to eliminate the forward people among the Backward Classes. In implementing the Mandal Commission Report. Government of india has appointed an Expert Committee to consider and to draw the guidelines for this creamy layer. Justice O Chinnappa Reddy in his report has suggested this creamy layer principle much earlier than the Expert Committee Report of the Government of India. After Careful examination, Government have felt that the creamy layer principle laid down by the Expert Committee 1s too liberal and has therefore, decided to adopt the Creamy Layer principle given by Justice © Chinnappa Reddy in his Report except for itein No. 3..e., both of whose parents are graduates GOVERNMENT ORDER NO, SWD 75 BCA 92 BANGALORE dated 20-4-1994 ‘On careful consideration of the guidelines given by the Supreme Court of India in the judgement of Sri Vasanth Kumar and another Vs.
