However, each case is to be examined on its merit. However, in general, the following illustrations are made: Example I - Father - Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Mother- non-Scheduled Caste /nonScheduled Tribe Child- shall be Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe. Example II - Mother - Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Father - non-Scheduled Caste/ nonScheduled Tribe Child - shall be non-Scheduled Caste/non-Scheduled Tribe.

The courts would only look into the notification issued by the President to see whether the name finds place in the notification?
