Supreme Court Refuses To Give Scheduled Caste Benefit To 'Tanti' Caste Person In Bihar

Live Law  

The Supreme Court recently refused to extend the benefit of Scheduled Caste reservation to a Central Government employee who belonged to the 'Tanti' caste, which is notified as Other Backward Classes category in Bihar. In 2015, the Bihar Government removed 'Tanti' caste from the OBC list and merged it with 'Pan/Swasi' caste in the Scheduled Castes category. Meanwhile, in July this year, the Supreme Court, in another case, quashed the Bihar Government's notification which shifted 'Tanti' caste to SC list, by holding that the State Government has no power to amend the Presidential notification. A bench comprising Justice PS Narasimha and Justice Manoj Misra however held that the respondent was not entitled to any such equities, as he enjoyed the benefit of SC quota promotion only for a limited period of less than one year when the Union's SLP was pending in the Supreme Court.
