LAW AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS

SC rules that conversion ends Scheduled Caste status

The Supreme Court ruled that individuals who convert to religions other than Hinduism, Buddhism or Sikhism lose their Scheduled Caste status immediately and completely. The bench, led by Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra, held that conversion results in automatic loss of SC status, with no exceptions. The judgment relies on Clause 3 of the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, which restricted SC recognition to followers of Hinduism, later extended to Sikhs and Buddhists. The court described the restriction as categorical and absolute. The decision impacts access to reservations and related benefits for converts. Lawyers expected appeals though the ruling clarifies eligibility rules going forward.
  • Ruling: conversion ends SC status
  • Legal basis: Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950
  • Religions affected: Hinduism, Sikhs, Buddhists
  • No exceptions to SC status loss
  • Impact on reservations and benefits
  • Possible appeals anticipated
