Sc St Sub-classification Verdict

Union Minister Chirag Paswan has said his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will appeal against the Supreme Court verdict allowing sub-classification within the reservation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

The Supreme Court today held that its 2004 verdict holding that states do not have the power to further sub-classify the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, for grant of quotas in jobs and admissions to educational institutions, needs to be revisited.
