The publication at following link might be useful.
Experts are requested to provide link/citation of cited order of Supreme Court of India in this publication at:
http://www.countercurrents.org/dalit-raju230204.htm
“ According to one of
the latest judgments of the Supreme Court, a Scheduled Tribe
member after his/her conversion to Catholic religion may lose
his/her Scheduled Tribe status unless he/she continues with
certain customs and traits of his tribe; that too being a question
of fact to be proved by trial in courts.”

Thanks a Lot to Mr Kumar.
The entire thing was new to me and may be very helpful to others.
Such a way of answer is adorning and befitting for this site.
