孟买高等法院的Nagpur法官裁定,拥有十字架或耶稣雕像等基督教象征并不能证明宗教皈依或丧失印度教种姓身份,驳回Akola学生在册种姓证书的拒绝。 The Bombay High Court’s Nagpur bench ruled that owning Christian symbols like a cross or Jesus statue does not prove religious conversion or loss of Hindu caste identity, rejecting an Akola student’s SC certificate denial. 法院称委员会的决定是 " 特有错误的 " ,指出没有任何证据表明正式的皈依仪式如洗礼。 The court called the committee’s decision “patently erroneous,” noting no evidence of formal conversion rituals like baptism. 它维持学生的索赔要求,所依据的是表明其家庭自1930年代以来的曼格种姓地位的一致历史记录,包括学校和政府文件,并下令在两个月内颁发证书。 It upheld the student’s claim based on consistent historical records showing his family’s Mang caste status since the 1930s, including school and government documents, and ordered the certificate be issued within two months.
