Important Points of the 105th Amendment to the Indian Constitution
The following are the important points of the 105th Amendment to the Indian Constitution:
- A month after the 102nd Amendment was passed, the Maharashtra government’s law granting the Marathas a status as Socially and Economically Backward Classes was challenged in the Supreme Court, which for the first time held that the 102nd Amendment had taken away States’ powers to recognize SEBCs. This is how this fact was brought to light.
- Justice S Ravindra Bhat mentioned the addition of Article 342 A by the Parliament as his justification.
- Article 366 and Article 338B both required the States to confer with the NCBC and prohibited them from independently declaring SEBCs.
105th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2021 – Impact and Significance
105th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2021 brought back the authority for state governments to create a list of socially and educationally backward classes, or SEBCs. The independent State lists were exempted from the authority and duties of the National Commission for Backward Classes, which is consulted on all matters of policy and honor, according to the 105th Constitutional Amendment Act. The statement suggested that States are not obliged to confer with the National Commission. The 105th Amendment to the Indian Constitution Act was passed in order to reclaim this authority.
