SC Flags 'Fraud' in Upper Caste Minority Claims

Two siblings, originally from an upper caste Hindu family, converted to Buddhism and asked for special benefits given to minority groups.

The Supreme Court of India, which is like the highest court in the country, said no.

They told the siblings that their request was a new kind of trick to get these benefits.

The court also asked the government of Haryana to explain the rules about who can get a minority certificate.

This is important because it shows that the court wants to make sure that these special benefits are only given to people who really need them.

The siblings wanted to study at a medical college, but the court said they couldn't use their new religion to get special treatment.
