Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding the inclusion of the Laskar community in the Scheduled Tribes list under Articles 341 and 342 of the Constitution of India. The Court held that the Scheduled Tribes in Tripura are defined as specific tribes, and the Laskar community does not fall under these definitions. The Court emphasized that it would not assume jurisdiction to determine the inclusion of the Laskar community in the Presidential Order, leaving such matters to the authorities for review.
