Under Indian law, SC/ST reservations are based on caste, not religion. Converting to Sikhism or Buddhism does not automatically make you eligible for SC/ST reservations. However, if you belong to a caste that is already recognized as SC/ST, you retain that status even after conversion.

I was born in Andhra Pradesh but my hometown is in Madhya Pradesh. During my college years in Pune, I needed a domicile certificate but didn’t have one. To get it, I had to obtain a new birth certificate from my hometown stating I was born in MP. It’s been ten years now, and I’m worried I might have accidentally used this incorrect birthplace in other documents, like my voter ID. Could this lead to legal trouble? Is there a way to correct this mistake, including my birth place on documents where I might have mistakenly mentioned MP? Does the government have any scheme similar to the income declaration scheme to address these issues? I’d appreciate guidance in complete confidentiality.

Respected Sir, My neighbors have built their stairs extending 4 feet onto the road, reducing the passage from 12 feet to just 4 feet. This makes it impossible to move building materials for my house. The property papers clearly state that each house should leave a 4-foot space for the road. Despite repeated requests, they haven’t removed the stairs. Could you please advise me on how to legally resolve this issue so I can proceed with my construction?
