The SC may take a re-look at the circumstances in which a State declares a community as a religious or linguistic minority.
The Supreme Court today asked whether Sikhs in Punjab and Muslims in Kashmir can be treated as minority, as it commenced hearing to decide the correctness of a 2007 Punjab and Haryana High Court verdict holding that Sikhs cannot be granted 50 per cent quota in Sikh educational institutions in Punjab.
Can Muslims, who are in majority in Kashmir, still be treated as minority? Can Sikhs be minority in Punjab? Can Christians be minority in Meghalaya,” the bench, also comprising Justices FMI Kalifulla, AK Sikri, SA Bobde and R Banumathi, asked.
