Supreme Court Rejects Caste Census Plea Expresses Anger Over Objectionable Language in Petition

• Supreme Court rejects caste census petition over lack of merit
• Caste census plea draws anger over objectionable language in petition
• Supreme Court dismisses caste census case and single child policy plea

The Supreme Court has dismissed a petition seeking to halt the proposed caste census, while strongly criticizing the language used in the filing. The bench expressed clear displeasure, questioning the manner in which the petition was drafted.

During the hearing, the court took serious note of the wording used in the petition. Chief Justice Surya Kant questioned the petitioner directly, asking who had drafted the document and why such objectionable language was included. The remarks reflected the court’s concern over maintaining decorum in legal proceedings.

The petition had urged the court to direct the central government not to proceed with the caste census. However, after examining the arguments, the bench found no merit in the plea and decided to dismiss it.

Alongside this, the court also heard another petition that sought policy directions for providing financial incentives to families with a single child. This plea too was rejected, with the bench declining to intervene in policy matters.

The hearing was conducted by a bench comprising Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice Manubhai Pancholi. The judges emphasized the importance of respectful language in legal documents and warned against misuse of the judicial process.

The court’s strong observations underline the expectation that petitions filed before the highest judicial authority must adhere to standards of professionalism and respect. With both petitions dismissed, the proceedings concluded with a clear message on legal discipline.
