The Supreme Court on Monday issued a notice to the Central government on a petition filed by the National Council of Dalit Christians seeking Scheduled Caste (SC) status for the Dalit Christians.

A bench headed by Chief Justice SA Bobde sought response from the government and agreed to hear the plea which stated that the Christian Dalits should be given SC/ST reservation.

The petitioner stated the change of religion does not end social discrimination against lower castes.
