Supreme Court declares caste-based discrimination in prisons unconstitutional
The Business Guardian
|October 04, 2024
TBG NETWORK NEW DELHI The Supreme Court, in a pathbreaking judgement on Thursday, put an end to caste-based discrimination in prisons, calling it unconstitutional, and directed the Centre to make changes in jail manuals that perpetuate such practices.
-
The top court directed that the "caste" column and any references to caste in undertrial and/or convicts' prisoners' registers inside the prisons shall be deleted.
A bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and also comprising justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra said that the manual, which discriminates against prison by assigning cleaning and sweeping tasks to lower castes and cooking to higher castes, is in violation of Article 15.
The Supreme Court said such practices lead to unfair division of labour in the prisons and type of labour assignment based on caste, etc cannot be permitted.
