The Patna High Court has reserved its judgement on a petition seeking an interim stay on the caste-based survey in Bihar. The court will grant interim relief to the petitioners if it finds the state government had exceeded its powers, not followed due process of law, or infringed on privacy of respondents. The Bihar government launched the caste survey exercise on January 7, compiling data on each family in physical form and digitally through a mobile application as part of the survey from the panchayat to the district level.
