SC Says Islam Conversion Doesn't Grant BC Seats

Supreme Court Decision

• The Court held that conversion to Islam alone does not make a person eligible for Other Backward Class (BC) reservation.
• Eligibility is determined by the individual's caste at the time of the alleged incident, not by later religious change.
• The ruling clarifies that reservation benefits cannot be claimed solely on the basis of a post‑incident conversion.
