New Delhi: The Supreme Court today gave a big decision regarding Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Within Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes there can be sub-categories or sub-categories. Today the Supreme Court has given such a big decision on caste-based reservation in Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. The court said that reservation within reservation is not a form of inequality.

A seven-member bench of the Supreme Court said that the state government can sub-category within Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. In which the basic and needy people can benefit. The Supreme Court said, “The state cannot work arbitrarily by taking the quota within the quota.” Every move by the state will be subject to judicial review. In addition, the court changed the judgment given by the 5-member jury of the Supreme Court in the 2004 EB Chennai case.

According to information, the law to provide half of reservation to Balmiki and Majhabi Sikhs in Punjab was struck down by the High Court in 2010. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court against the decision of the High Court. On Thursday, during the hearing on this petition, the Supreme Court has taken a big decision regarding the reservation. There are many castes in SC/ST category who are very backward. There is a great need for the empowerment of this nation. It would be wrong to base it on the presence of a particular caste in larger numbers, said the Supreme Court during the hearing today. The court also said, “caste category is not equal.” Some castes are more backward. It’s okay to give them a chance. They should also get conservation benefits.
