Counsel : We are Jat. CJI : Then how you become [minority]? Counse l : We have converted to Buddhism. Anybody can convert to Buddhism CJI : This is another way of fraud...you want to snatch the rights of some genuine bona fide minority....you are one of the richest, best located, upper caste communities...holding agricultural lands and having facilities...you should be proud of your merit....instead of taking the rights of who are actually deprived... Counsel : We have genuinely adopted Buddhism... CJI : Then everybody will start...upper castes will start adopting....Don't compel us to make further comments...
