MP HC issues notices to 13 district collectors

Jabalpur 12th October 09


The Madhya Pradesh High Court has issued notices to 12 district collectors for not including the Urao tribe in Schedule Tribe category.

Hearing the petition of Urao and other organisations, Chief Justice Anang Kumar Patnaik and Justice Ajit Kumar Singh yesterday issued notices to Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Shivpuri, Guna, Gwalior, Ashoknagar, Datia, Morena, Bhind, Dewas and Sagar districts collectors.

Counsel Arvind Dudhavat said the state government had deprived the Urao, Khadia, Munda and Kevat tribes from facilities after they left for Chhattisgarh in 2005.

He said the court also issued orders in this regard in 2008 but were not implemented.
