New Delhi, January 5

A person belonging to a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe in one state can’t claim the benefits admissible to persons belonging to such a community in another state, the top court ruled on Wednesday.

The Supreme Court endorsed the view that social condition of a community varied from state to state and it would not be proper to generalise any caste or tribe as a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe for the whole country.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
