JUDGMENT S.B. Sinha, J.

1. Leave granted.

2. Validity of Constitution (Scheduled Caste) Orders 2nd Amendment 2002, whereby and whereunder the `Mochis' outside the Dang District and Umargaon Taluka of Valsad District in the State of Gujarat were excluded from Schedule I to the Constitution (Scheduled Caste) Order 1950, was in question before the Gujarat High Court. Its validity has been upheld by the High Court holding:

"29. For the foregoing reasons, the challenge of the petitioner against the impugned Amendment Act of 2002 and the imposition of area restriction in respect of the Mochi caste as done in the varied entry 4 of the Order of 1950, as well as against the impugned Government Resolution dated 18-2-2003 fails and the contentions raised on behalf of the petitioner and the supporting respondent No. 10 have no substance. The petition is, therefore, rejected. Rule is discharged. There shall be no order as to costs."

5. By a notification dated 18.12.2002 issued by the Central Government, the entry `Mochi' for the State of Gujarat except the Dang District and Umargaon Taluka of Valsad District has been deleted. The State of Gujarat Maharashtra adopted the said notification on 18.02.2003 and it was implemented from 18.12.2002.

6. Submission of the learned counsel for the appellants, however, is that the superior courts should exercise a wider power of judicial review in respect of such a matter in view of the fact that the legislative power of the Parliament under Article 341 (2) of the Constitution of India is of special nature and not plenary. we do not agree. List prepared by the President under Article 341 (1) of the Constitution of India forms one class of homogeneous group. Only one list is to be prepared by the President and if any amendment thereto is to be made, the same is to be done by the Parliament. Even the State does not have any legislative competence to alter the same.
