No Scheduled Caste status on conversion to religions other than Hinduism, Sikhism or Buddhism: Supreme Court | India News

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday held that a person who professes a religion other than Hinduism, Sikhism or Buddhism cannot be recognised as a member of a Scheduled Caste. Emphasising the scope of the law, the bench said a person cannot simultaneously practise a religion not listed in the 1950 Order and claim Scheduled Caste status.
