The counsel told the bench that the caste survey began on April 15 and is scheduled to end on May 15.
The bench said it would put the matter up for hearing on April 28. The apex court had on January 20 declined to entertain a batch of petitions challenging the Bihar government’s decision to conduct a caste survey in the state.
It had said that there is no merit in the petitions and dismissed them with liberty to the petitioners to approach the concerned High Court.
