HEIKHAM SURCHANDRA SINGH vs REP. OF 'LOIS' KAKCHING

The Supreme Court addressed the status of the 'Loi' community in Manipur under Article 341 of the Constitution, which pertains to the classification of Scheduled Castes. The Court upheld the findings of a statutory Commission that determined only certain villages were entitled to Scheduled Caste status, thereby clarifying the scope of the President's Notification. The judgment confirmed that the Loi community's recognition as Scheduled Caste was limited to specific areas, rejecting broader claims from other villages.
