Internal reservation: Nomadic and micro communities to question latest matrix in Karnataka HIgh Court

Having lost another opportunity to receive a separate category to benefit from internal reservation among Scheduled Castes, 49 untouchable nomadic and 10 micro communities have decided to continue the case in the High Court of Karnataka and also challenge the latest Cabinet decision on internal reservation through additional petitions.

A meeting of the Federation of Untouchable Nomadic Communities of Karnataka on Monday decided to continue its legal fight to secure a separate category in internal reservation for 59 communities. ‘Swabhimani Samavesha’, a convention has been planned in the last week of May in Bengaluru to put forth the demands.
