SC notice to govt on reservation to Dalit converts

STAFF WRITER 17:39 HRS IST

New Delhi, Jan 6 (PTI) The issue of reservation benefits for Dalits
converted to Christianity and Islam as also Parsis and Jains today
reached the Supreme Court which sought a response from the Centre on a
PIL accusing it of scuttling the recommendations of Rangnath Misra
Commission in this regard.

The PIL, filed by All India Christian Federation, sought reservation
for converted Dalits of all faiths on the same footing as extended to
Scheduled Castes following Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism.

A Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice B S
Chauhan issued a notice to the Ministry of Social Justice and Ministry
of Minority Affairs for its response on the implementation of the
recommendation of the National Commission for Religious and Linguistic
Minorities (NCRLM) headed by former Chief Justice of India Rangnath
Misra
