SC Agrees To Hear Plea Against Caste Survey In Bihar On April 28

The Supreme Court today agreed to hear on April 28 a fresh plea against the Bihar government’s decision to conduct a caste-based survey in the state.

The division bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha took note of the submission of an advocate seeking an urgent hearing of the matter.

The lawyer told the bench that the caste survey began on April 15 and is scheduled to end on May 15.

The bench stated that it would post the matter for hearing on April 28. The apex court on January 20 refused to entertain a batch of pleas challenging the Bihar government’s decision to conduct a caste survey in the state.

Further, it stated that there is no merit in the petitions and dismissed them with liberty to the petitioners to approach the high court concerned.
