A Public Interest Litiga...

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking transfer of all pending petitions challenging the validity of Section 2(c) of the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992 in order to avoid multiplicity of litigations and conflicting views on the interpretation of Articles 29-30.

A plea has been filed in the Meghalaya High Court seeking directions from the government to define ‘minority’ & frame guidelines for their identification at the state level, in a spirit of the provision of Article 29 and 30 of the Constitution of India and the judgment of the apex court in TMA Pai case.
