Why is the government against income-based sub-quotas for SC/ST groups?
The Centre has informed the Supreme Court that it opposes public interest litigations (PILs) calling for income-based sub-categorization for SC/ST communities. The government argued that such changes require a comprehensive review and data-backed research before being implemented. Furthermore, the Centre stated that these petitions do not present a constitutional issue needing Supreme Court intervention, nor do they show that any fundamental rights have been violated. The government maintained that only Parliament has the authority to make decisions on this matter.
