Rights of Non- Tribals in Scheduled Areas

On 10th May, 2023, the Supreme Court (SC) dismissed a plea contending that no one, except the members of the Scheduled Tribes, has the right to settle down in the Scheduled Areas.

  • A petition was filed in the SC in which the petitioner had contended-
    • ­Right to Settle: No one had the right to settle in the Scheduled Area, except for the members of the Scheduled Tribes.
    • ­Right to Vote: Every person, who didn’t belong to Scheduled Tribes and residing in the Scheduled Area, was an unlawful occupant and, therefore, was disentitled to exercise his right to vote in a Scheduled Area constituency.
