November 2003 judgement.
Dismissing an appeal of Chandigarh administration, the apex court had

as to enable us to avail the facilities, concessions, privileges,
benefits, reservation available to us," Kattimani S L, state
organiser, SC department, Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee
Sevadal, said in a letter to the Congress chief.
Referring to the scenario in the coastal state, he said although the
SC/ST migrants are allowed to vote in local bodies, assembly and
Parliament elections, "they are denied to contest local body elections
for seats reserved for SC/ST/OBC community."
