The Supreme Court of India on this Monday adjourned the hearing of a petition filed by non-governmental organisation ‘Ek Soch Ek Prayas’ against the decision of the Patna High Court that was to uphold the Bihar government’s caste-based survey or Caste census. This verdict was earlier delivered by a division bench of the said high court, which rejected the contention that an attempt to collect data on the basis of caste amounted to a census and held the exercise to be “perfectly valid initiated with due competence”. Other petitions have also been filed challenging the high court’s decision to maintain status quo.
The whole Spark arised after Bihar Government’s Decision to hold a caste based survey to know the number of people from different caste and their Social and Economical position.
