Haryana Backward Classes Commission launches its website to collect data

CHANDIGARH, OCT 9
Haryana Backward Classes Commission has launched its websitehttp://hbcc.nic.in to gather data related to reservation of backward classes. In this regard, any stakeholder or any person interested will be at liberty to place their data or material before the Commission including Welfare of Scheduled Caste and Backward Classes department on or before November 30, 2017. Any person desirous of raising any objection to the data can file the same on or before December 30, 2017
            While giving this information here today, Chairman of the Commission, (Retired) Mr Justice S. N. Aggarwal  said that in this regard, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed the Commission to submit its report to State Government by March 31, 2018
     He said that Haryana Vidhan Sabha had passed the Haryana Backward Classes Commission Act, 2016 (Haryana Act No.9 of 2016) under which Haryana Backward Classes Commission was created to examine requests for inclusion or exclusion of any class of citizens as a Backward Class and hear complaints of over-inclusion or under-inclusion of any Backward Class and tender such advice to the State Government.
    He said that Haryana Vidhan Sabha had also passed the Haryana Backward Classes (Reservation in Services and Admission in Educational Institutions) Act, 2016(Haryana Act No.15 of 2016). Haryana Government has issued its notification on May 12, 2016. He said that under this Act, reservation was provided to six castes; Jat, Jat Sikh, Ror, Bisnoi, Tyagi and Mulla Jat or Muslim Jat in the List of Backward Classes of citizens in the state of Haryana, Block ‘C’, Schedule III. Thereafter, some complaints were filed by the aggrieved parties to challenge the reservation given to these six castes before this Commission. 
    He said that the said Act was also challenged by filling a number of petitions in the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh. The main petition was titled as Murari Lal Gupta Vs. State of Haryana and others, CWP No. 9931 of 2016 (O&M). The High Court had passed the judgment on September 1, 2017 in which, the Court had directed the Commission to determine the extent of reservation, if any, to which the castes mentioned in Schedule III of the 2016 Act are entitled to and also the quantum of reservation provided for these six castes. 
    This website has been developed by National Informatics Centre and hosted by Haryana State Centre, Chandigarh. This website http://hbcc.nic.in can be accessed by general public by login and it’s accessible on mobiles as well, he added.
