The Scheduled Castes in Telangana will be divided into three sub-groups. Eighteen SC communities that have seen moderate benefits are placed in Group II. They make up 62.74% of the total SC population. The Commission has recommended a 9% reservation for them.
The Supreme Court has said that changing religion only to get reservation benefits is a misuse of the Constitution. It stated that such actions go against the purpose of helping disadvantaged groups through reservations. The ruling aims to protect the true intention of these constitutional provisions. This judgment sends a strong message to prevent the misuse of reservation benefits.
