Raised by scheduled caste mother, student seeks her caste status; Bombay HC says no

Bombay High Court rejected a petition by a student from an inter-caste marriage seeking Scheduled Caste status through his mother, an SC member. The court upheld the caste scrutiny committee’s decision, emphasizing the lack of evidence showing the student faced deprivations or indignities typically experienced by the SC community. The judges also noted the maternal grandparents’ satisfactory living conditions.
