On Friday, the Apex Court issued notice to the Union of India seeking its reply on a plea filed by BJP leader & lawyer Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay for identifying state-wise minorities on the basis of population.

A bench of the Supreme Court, headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, issued notice to the Union of India asking it to file its reply on the petition within a period of 6 weeks.

Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay had moved the plea before the Supreme Court seeking appropriate directions & orders for identifying state-wise minorities on the basis of population.

In Dec 2019, the Apex Court had dismissed another plea filed by Upadhyay seeking directions to lay down guidelines to accord minority status based on the state-wise population of a community.
