Legal quiz- SC/ST

Arts. 341 and 342 of the constitution confer power on the President to notify the list of castes , races or tribes which are to be treated as SC and ST respectively.

Under which article definition of SC and ST has been provided?

95733 members are here at LCI till now and it is presumed that out of these about 50000 members may be from legal profession but none has given the answer to your quiz.

 

So, now you please let us know the answer that you know.

Clue has been given  in the next quiz - "Relegious base of SC/ST" .

There are  two notifications - one for SC and other for ST.

definition of SC and ST

 

- no defination is there.

it depends upon the state govt to recomend the sc or st to the perliament. thereafter perliament takes the suitable steps.

no specific criteria is there.

Dear friends,

Art. 244 and 244-A of the Constitution provide for scheduled and tribal areas and not for scheduled  castes and tribes.

Definition of SC has been given under art. 366 (24) and that of ST under art. 366 (25) of the Constitution .

For complete legislattive information about SC one has to go through Art. 341,  366(24), and the Constitution (Scheduled castes) Order, 1950 ;

and about ST one has to go through Art. 342, 366(25) and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950 .

It is Presidential Order , 1950 which contains the State wise lists of castes and tribes .
