Supreme Court Gives Final Warning to 23 States, UTs on Prison Discrimination Case
The Supreme Court has expressed disappointment that 23 states and Union Territories have not responded to the Centre's queries on prison discrimination, giving them a final chance to comply. This follows the court's October 2024 ruling banning caste-based discrimination in prisons, including segregation and biased labor division. The court warned that senior officials may be required to appear if states fail to respond by the next hearing scheduled for January 13. The case involves monitoring police regulations and the formation of district-level prison oversight boards.
