OBC Census In Question

NEW DELHI, INDIA (GaeaTimes.com)- Solicitor General Gopal Subramanium was called upon by the Supreme Court in the wake of OBC census count which puts the Central Government’s primary duties in question. Reportedly, the general census count had commenced from Apr 1 but there isn’t any hand-held document to show whether any separate headcounts have been done for the OBC (Other Backward Classes). The solicitor General who approached the bench headed by Justice Deepak Verma and Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan has issued a three weeks time frame for the Central Government to have come up with their reports on the census count for the OBC.

Reportedly, Mahatma Phule Samta Parishad which happens to be a civil society group of like-minded people has gone ahead to file a lawsuit demanding an answer to the negligence towards the OBC Census Count. Following that advocate Shivpujan Singh had drafted the lawsuit in accordance to the Central Government directives in planning out a separate headcount method for the OBC category which plays an important role in the overall census count. As a matter of fact advocate D.K. Garg pointed out that there has been no head count even no census count for the OBC after 1931.

The Supreme court was hearing over a plea which was filed by Kishore Govind Kanhere which underlined the fact that when there is a census count for all classes and category then the same rule shall be applicable for the OBC in accordance to the census count of the year 2010 which in turn follows the directives of Article 16 in the constitution which speaks all about the reservation rights of the OBC, SC and ST.
