The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to stay the Patna High Court order which halted the caste survey being conducting by the Bihar government. A bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Rajesh Bindal said it would have to examine if the exercise being carried out is a census in garb of survey.
"We are making it clear, this is not a case where we can grant you interim relief," the bench said.The apex court noted that the high court had posted the hearing of the main petition on July 3.
