A bench of Justices B R Gavai and K V Viswanathan dismissed the appeal noting no one had appeared in the case when the matter came up for hearing.

Caste census will be developmental instrument that will shape the country's progress, says Rahul Gandhi
"I committed, on behalf of the Congress party in Parliament, that we will carry out a National Caste Census and demolish the artificial barrier of 50% reservation. Telangana is a model for the National Caste Census, and I am thankful to their leadership for doing a marvellous job in this process. We don’t want a bureaucratic Caste Census—that would be an insult to the people. We want the people of India to determine what questions should be asked. We want Dalits, OBCs, Adivasis and women to decide the nature of these questions. As a result, it won’t be just a caste census; it will be a political instrument, a developmental instrument that will shape the country’s progress," said Rahul Gandhi.
