SC TELLS STATES, UTS TO GIVE VIEWS IN 4 WKS ON MINORITY STATUS FOR HINDUS

The Supreme Court on Tuesday told 19 states and Union territories to submit their views to the Centre within four weeks on granting minority status to Hindus in states where other communities outnumber them.

In its affidavit filed last month, the Centre had told the top court that 19 states and Union territories were yet to submit their responses.

.”..We call upon the 19 states/ UTS to communicate their stand to the Centre within four weeks...,” the bench of justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul and AS Oka said.
