Tamil Nadu Cabinet Approves Social Justice Survey and Plans Supreme Court Review on Reservation

Joseph Vijay, has approved forming a commission headed by a retired High Court judge to conduct a Social Justice Survey in early 2027, following the completion of the national Census. The survey aims to assess social status and caste demographics. The government also plans to file a review petition in the Supreme Court challenging the quashing of a 2024 order granting reservation benefits to converted Muslims. Political parties like PMK have welcomed the survey and urged prompt action.
