In Telangana, the Cabinet Sub-Committee on SC sub-categorisation has decided to recommend the appointment of a judicial commission to study sub-classification within the Scheduled Castes (SC) reserved categories.
This was discussed during a meeting chaired by Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister Capt. N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, held in
Hyderabad yesterday. It decided to recommend the constitution of a one-man judicial commission, led by a retired judge of the Supreme Court or High Court, to assess intra-backwardness among different castes within the SCs. Mr Reddy said this process must be legally sound and must withstand judicial scrutiny.
