State may check I-T history before granting SC/ST benefits

Urvi Mahajani

The Maharashtra government is contemplating checking the income-tax returns filed by a person from the reserved category before granting benefits under the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) Act. There are IAS officers belonging to the SC/ST category who admit their children to private schools and expect benefits to be extended to them, government pleader Dhairyasheel Nalavade informed the Bombay high court on Monday. "They can't be entitled to freeship. Those paying the tax should not be given these benefits," pleaded Nalavade. A division bench of chief justice Mohit Shah and justice Roshan Dalvi was hearing a public interest litigation by Naresh Gosavi and other parents whose children study in private aided and unaided schools under the "free studentship". The petitioners claimed that because the government has failed to release the grants, the managements were not permitting their children to attend school. Earlier, the high court had asked the government to release grants for free education of students from SC, ST, vimukta jatis, nomadic tribes and Other Backward Class. Gayatri Singh informed the court that the government had stopped disbursement of fees since 2007. "As a result, several students have dropped out of school," said Singh. But, Nalavade contended that these parents [petitioners] have sent their children to private unaided schools which charge high fees, and the government cannot afford to pay thousands of rupees per month for each student. Nalavade informed the court that the government will place the fee hike proposal before the cabinet on Tuesday.
