Gavai questioned whether the son of a CJI or Chief Secretary and the son of a labourer studying in a village panchayat school should be treated at the same level when it comes to reservation.
The former CJI underlined that the principle of creamy layer was defined in the Indra Sawhney case and said that in one of his own judgments, he had supported extending the doctrine to the SC category as well. He added that some critics accused him of benefiting from reservation to reach the Supreme Court and then speaking in favour of the creamy layer. "But there is no reservation in the appointment of High Court and Supreme Court judges. So the allegation is completely baseless," Gavai stated.
