The Union Cabinet today gave its approval for expansion of the terms of reference of the National Commission. However, to remove any ambiguity it is needed to add one more clause to its terms of reference as follows :
“ to give its recommendations on the issues raised in W.P 180/04 and 94/05 filed in the Supreme Court and in certain High Courts relating to para 3 of the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, in the context of ceiling of 50% on reservations as also the modalities of inclusion in the list of Scheduled Castes.”
The financial implication of the proposals would be Rs. 216.99 lakhs for the full financial year 2005-06 period i.e. the upto March 31, 2006 against Rs.48 lakhs allotted for the financial year 2005-06.
The Cabinet also gave its ex-post-facto approval to the Commission for extension of tenure upto April 30, 2006.
