News 1 — Tripura: Supreme Court examines tribal customary law and sexual violence

Date: 28 October 2026
Category: ST rights · Court decisions · Women's safety

The Supreme Court has issued notice on a public interest litigation challenging Section 143 of the Jamatia Customary Laws Act, 2017, in Tripura. The petition alleges that the provision permits serious offences, including rape, to be settled through private compromise and monetary penalties of up to ₹1 lakh.

The case raises important questions about women's rights, tribal customary law, constitutional protections and the authority of autonomous district councils. The court's notice is not a final judgment on the provision's validity. The next hearing was reported as scheduled for 27 November 2026.

News 2 — Karnataka: Government plans Supreme Court challenge over SC/ST reservation

Date: 28 October 2026
Category: Reservation · Education · Government employment

Karnataka's government has announced plans to challenge the High Court judgment that struck down the state's enhanced SC/ST reservation provisions.

The High Court had invalidated provisions increasing Scheduled Caste reservation from 15% to 17% and Scheduled Tribe reservation from 3% to 7%, finding that the resulting overall reservation of 56% exceeded the applicable 50% ceiling.

Deputy Chief Minister G. Parameshwara said the government would approach the Supreme Court and explore legal options to protect the enhanced quota. The proposed appeal should be distinguished from an actual Supreme Court ruling: the High Court judgment and the government's announced response are separate developments.

News 3 — Allahabad High Court: SC/ST atrocity case proceedings upheld

Reported: 28 October 2026
Category: SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act · Court decisions

A report published by LawFinder News says the Allahabad High Court dismissed an appeal challenging the summoning of accused persons in an SC/ST atrocity case.

The complaint involved allegations of assault, caste-based abuse and threats against a Scheduled Caste man and his wife. The court reportedly held that a procedural irregularity in the initial proceedings did not invalidate the subsequent summoning order.

This is a report about a particular case, not a ruling that every complaint under the SC/ST Act must proceed in the same way.

Reported: Week of 21 October 2026

A report by The Indian Express states that 44 people from Scheduled Caste communities across eight districts of Gujarat embraced Buddhism at a ceremony in Ahmedabad on 21 October.

The report describes the influence of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's teachings, including the pursuit of dignity, equality and freedom from caste discrimination. It also reports a separate conversion ceremony involving 76 Dalits near Ahmedabad's Gita Mandir.

This is an important development for readers following Buddhist communities and the Ambedkarite movement.

5)Tamil Nadu — Burial-ground discrimination in Erode

Reported: 9–10 October 2026

Two Scheduled Caste men were reportedly humiliated while seeking permission to bury an elderly relative in a common burial ground. The Tamil Nadu State Commission for Adi Dravidar and Scheduled Tribes sought explanations from district officials and called for action over the alleged caste-based humiliation and the conduct of officials present.

The incident raises questions about equal access to public burial grounds, dignity in death and enforcement of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The commission's inquiry and demands for action should not be confused with a final judicial finding of guilt.

Sources: ·

6)Telangana — Concerns over conviction rates in atrocity cases

Reported: 2 October 2026

The Telangana State SC/ST Commission's three-year report was reported to have recorded 9,102 atrocity cases between 2023 and 2026, with 32 convictions reported in the figures cited by the commission. The reported cases included murders and sexual assaults.

These figures raise questions about investigations, prosecution and victim support. They should be interpreted in context: registered cases and convictions may relate to different stages of the justice process, and the figures alone do not establish the outcome of every case.

7)Tamil Nadu — Supreme Court ruling on reservation after conversion

Date: 15 October 2026

The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's decision concerning a Tamil Nadu government notification on backward-class reservation following conversion to Islam.

The ruling concerned the legal requirements for claiming membership in a notified backward-class community after conversion. It also discussed Scheduled Caste status under the applicable constitutional framework. The judgment should be read in its specific legal context rather than treated as a ruling on every aspect of Buddhist identity or every form of reservation.
