A LEGAL STRIKE AT CASTE PRIDE

Allahabad High Court Bans Caste in Police Records & Stickers | Landmark Equality Judgment 2025 Allahabad High Court’s Landmark Caste Ban Judgment 2025 On 16 September 2025, the Allahabad High Court delivered a landmark ruling in the case of Praveen Chetri vs State of Uttar Pradesh and Others. The Court declared that the practice of mentioning caste in police records and the display of caste stickers on vehicles is unconstitutional and discriminatory. This judgment is a historic step towards building a caste-free society and reinforces the principle of equality under Article 14 of the Indian Constitution. The Court described caste entries in official documents as a “Legal Fallacy” and a form of “Identity Profiling” that perpetuates social prejudice. Legal Fallacy vs Identification Fallacy 🔹 The Legal Fallacy Claim: Caste has been mentioned in police manuals and government forms for decades. Court’s View: Any tradition that violates equality and the spirit of the Preamble and Article 14 cannot be justified. 🔹 The Identification Fallacy Claim: Caste entries are needed for proper identification in FIRs, arrest memos, and other police documents. Court’s View: Identification can be done using Aadhaar numbers, parents’ names, mobile numbers, or biometrics. Mentioning caste only fuels discrimination. Ban on Caste in Police Reports The High Court directed the Uttar Pradesh government to immediately stop the practice of recording caste in police documents such as FIRs, arrest memos, and police station notice boards. ✅ Alternative Identification: Aadhaar, fingerprints, mobile numbers, parents’ names. ⚖️ Exception: Cases filed under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, where caste identification is legally required. 🏛️ Government Compliance: UP government ordered the removal of caste fields from the CCTNS portal and directed all officials to leave caste sections blank until system updates are complete. 🚘 Action Against Caste Stickers on Vehicles The Court also banned the practice of displaying caste-based stickers and slogans on vehicles. ❌ Such displays are a “coded assertion of social power” and violate constitutional values. 🚔 Vehicles with caste stickers will be fined under the Motor Vehicles Act. 📜 The UP Government has instructed police to issue challans and remove caste-based identifiers from vehicles. 🌐 Wider Directives and Observations The judgment went beyond police records and vehicles, addressing the broader culture of caste glorification: 🚫 Ban on caste-based political rallies. 📱 Monitoring of social media content to curb caste pride or hate speech. 🏷️ Removal of caste-related signboards in villages and towns. 🇮🇳 Court’s Stand: Caste glorification is “Anti-National,” echoing Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s warning that caste divisions threaten India’s unity. ✅ Conclusion The case of Praveen Chetri vs State of UP transformed a routine liquor smuggling matter into a pathbreaking judgment against caste profiling. It dismantles caste-based practices in policing. Reinforces constitutional equality, fraternity, and dignity. Sends a clear message that true national pride lies not in lineage but in upholding the Constitution. This ruling is more than just a legal decision – it is a catalyst for social reform in Uttar Pradesh and a step towards creating a modern, secular, and casteless India. ✍️ Author: Advocate Mamta Shukla📞 9560044035 | Supreme Court of India
