Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Monday adjourned to Tuesday the hearing on a batch of petitions seeking an interim stay on the state government’s ongoing caste census. During the hearing, the court observed that it was considering the appointment of an amicus curiae to assist in the matter. The Vokkaliga Association said the current enumeration blurred the line between a social survey and a caste census. Interim orders were not granted in similar cases earlier, and no such stay should be granted now,” he submitted. The Centre, through ASG Arvind Kamath, maintained its opposition, arguing that the Karnataka survey was in effect a parallel caste census, an exercise constitutionally reserved for the Union.
