New Delhi, March 18: The West Bengal government has told the Supreme Court that the state’s commission for backward classes is re-evaluating the issue of backwardness. This process is expected to be completed within three months. A bench comprising Justices B R Gavai and Augustine George Masih heard the matter.
The Supreme Court today reprimanded the Uttar Pradesh Government for delaying remission applications for convicts, criticizing the infringement of fundamental rights and warning of potential contempt proceedings. The Principal Secretary was directed to explain the delays and submit an affidavit, with the case set for another hearing on August 20.
