https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171476 A Scheduled Tribe entry that groups communities under a principal tribe covers only those communities sharing affinity with that tribe, and tribal status remains confined to communities specified by presidential notification and altered only by Parliament. Applying this scheme to Entry 18 after the 1976 amendment, the Court treated the listed communities as linked to Gond rather than as an independent Mana entry. The omission of the word "including" did not expand the Schedule to cover every group called Mana, and the appellant's own evidence showed no affinity with Gond. He was therefore not a Scheduled Tribe candidate for the reserved seat, and the election was validly set aside. en-us Wed, 07 Nov 1979 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 21 Jul 2015 14:39:08 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171476 A Scheduled Tribe entry that groups communities under a principal tribe covers only those communities sharing affinity with that tribe, and tribal status remains confined to communities specified by presidential notification and altered only by Parliament.
