Goa Government to Challenge High Court Order on ST Reservation Process in Supreme Court
The Goa government plans to approach the Supreme Court to challenge a Bombay High Court order that halted the identification of Scheduled Tribe (ST) population figures, which affects political reservation ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. The High Court restrained the Census Commissioner from notifying ST population estimates, stating such data can only be based on the first official Census after 2026. A delegation of Goa leaders is seeking legal remedies to resume the reservation process under the Readjustment of Representation of Scheduled Tribes in Assembly Constituencies Act, 2025.
