Supreme Court Seeks Data on West Bengal Government's OBC Inclusion Petition
Aug 5, 2024, 07:10 AM
The Supreme Court of India has issued notices to the West Bengal government in response to a petition by West Bengal challenging the Calcutta High Court's decision to cancel OBC certificates issued after 2010. The SC has requested quantifiable data on the social and economic backwardness and inadequate representation in jobs of the castes included in the West Bengal OBC list. This comes amid a broader debate over the inclusion of castes in the OBC category, with the SC seeking data on surveys and consultations conducted by West Bengal before making such inclusions. The SC also asked the West Bengal government to file an affidavit explaining the process.
