on conversion she loses her scheduled caste staus . Supreme Court had held that “if a Hindu is converted to Christianity or another religion, which does not recognise caste, the conversion amounts to a loss of the said caste.” a Division Bench of the Madras High Court in 1952 ruled that “a convert ceases to have any caste.

”she will no more be entitled to seek reservation in promotion / Govt accommodations etc. She will be a Gen category employee. she wont lose lose her job because when she joined she was SC
