PoliticsPhoto: MintSupreme Court Rules Conversion to Islam Doesn't Transfer Backward Quota
The Supreme Court ruled that social backwardness cannot be transferred from Hindu to non-Hindu social orders after religious conversion. It dismissed Tamil Nadu's plea against the Madras High Court, which held that converts to Islam cannot claim backward class reservation solely based on conversion. The court upheld the quashing of Tamil Nadu's notification granting such reservation, refusing to interfere with the high court's decision.
