Supreme Court judge, Justice Sanjiv Khanna, on January 2 said break-up of Bihar caste survey data should normally be made available in the public domain to aid those who want to challenge inferences and policies kick-started by the State government on the basis of the information.
Appearing before the Bench headed by Justice Khanna, senior advocate Raju Ramachandran, who represents the petitioner side led by the NGO Ek Soch Ek Prayas, said the Bihar government had already gone ahead and increased reservation from 50% to 70% in the State.
Mr. Ramachandran said he would submit the survey report and sought interim relief, including an interim relief injuncting the government from acting on the findings of the report.
