SC seeks center’s response on nomads’ quota
Supreme Court has sought the Center’s response on a petition seeking quota benefits to nearly 15 crore de-notified nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes said to be living in penury and social neglect.

A bench of justices J M Panchal and H L Gokhale issued notice to the Ministry of Home Affairs, Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Social Justice, National Commission for Backward Classes, Ministry of Tribal Welfare and the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India on the petition by Mohan Dhansing Chavhan, a member of the tribe.

Besides seeking reservation benefits, the petition also seeks census enumeration of de-notified nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes.
