Social backwardness
Social backwardness, in ascertaining social back-wardness of a class of citizens it may not be irrelevant to consider the caste of the group of citizens. Caste cannot however be made the sole or dominant test. Social backwardness is in the ultimate analysis the result of poverty to a large extent. Social backwardness which results from poverty is likely to be aggravated by considerations of their caste. This shows the relevance of both caste and poverty in determining factor of social backwardness of citizens. Poverty by itself is not the determining factor of social backwardness. Poverty is relevant in the context of social backwardness, Kumari K.S. Jayasree v. State of Kerala, AIR 1976 SC 2381 (2385): (1976) 3 SCC 730: (1977) 1 SCR 194....

Socially and educationally backward classes
Socially and educationally backward classes, the expression 'socially and educationally backward classes' in Article 15(4) was explained in Balaji's case, AIR 1963 SC 649 to be comparable to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The reason is that the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes illustrated social and educational backwardness. It is difficult to define the expression 'socially and educationally backward classes of citizens'. The traditional unchanging occupations of citizens may contribute to social and educational backwardness. The place of habitation and its environment is also a determining factor in judging the social and educational backwardness, State of Uttar Pradesh v.

Social justice
Social justice, the concept of social justice has now become such an integral part of industrial law that it would be ideal for any party to suggest that industrial adjudication can or should ignore the claims of social justice in dealing with industrial disputes. The concept of social justice is not narrow, or onesided, or pedantic, and is not con-fined to industrial adjudication alone. Its sweep is comprehensive. It is founded on the basic ideal to socio-economic equality and its aim is to assist the removal of socio-economic disparities and in-equalities; nevertheless, in dealing with industrial matters, it does not adopt a doctrinaire approach and refuses to yield blindly to abstract notions, but adopts a realistic and pragmatic approach. It, therefore, endeavours to resolve the competing claims of employers and employees by finding a solution which is just and fair to both parties with the object of establishing harmony between capital and labour, and good relationship, J.K. Cotto...

social security disability benefits (ssdi)
