Allahabad High Court division bench while hearing a petition filed by Dinesh Kumar Biyar seeks a reply from the Center and the state government in four weeks on the petition against the inclusion of the Biyar community of Uttar Pradesh in the backward classes instead of the scheduled tribe.
The Bombay High Court in its judgement dated 14.08.2018 had held that the tribe Gond Gowari was completely extinct before 1911 and no trace of it was found either in the Maratha Country of C. P. and Berar or in the State of Madhya Pradesh prior to 1956.
Janata Congress’ Chhattisgarh state president Amit Jogi, whose Scheduled Tribe certificate was cancelled by the state level caste screening committee, today withdrew his petition from the Supreme Court.
