Supreme Court's judgement
dated July 15, 2024 reversed the Patna High Court's judgement dismissing cases challenging a
Notification dated July 1, 2015, whereby the State Government had
passed a resolution based upon consideration of recommendations by the
State Backward Commission which had recommended that in the list of
Extremely Backward Classes published under the Bihar Reservation of
Vacancies in Posts and Services (for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes
and other Backward Classes) Act, 1991, the caste “Tanti-Tantwa” recorded
at Serial No.33 be deleted and the said “Tanti-Tantwa” be merged in the
Scheduled Castes list with the caste 'Pan/Sawasi' mentioned at Serial
No.20 so that they could get benefit of the Scheduled Castes. Supreme
Court has quashed the Resolution/Notification dated July 1, 2015.
It is
noteworthy that the Union of India fully supported the appellants against the stance of the State government. The Supreme Court's bench set aside the judgement
of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice Sudhir Singh of Patna High
Court dated April 3, 2017 on July 15, 2024.
