Today, the Patna High Court stayed the caste census in Bihar till July 3, 2023. 

A division bench of Chief Justice K Vinod Chandran and Justice Madhuresh Prasad passed the order on three petitions filed before the High Court seeking a stay.

The bench directed the State government to immediately stop the caste-based survey and ensure that the data already collected are secured and not shared with anybody till final orders are passed in the writ petition.

Currently, the second phase is going on. 

The Court heard the pleas specifically on the directions of the Supreme Court to consider and dispose of the interim application filed in the matter for stay.
