Concept: Special-category rights legislation in India expressly names its beneficiary group(s) in the Act's own title -- identifying who the law covers starts by reading which named category actually appears there, distinct from general reservation categories such as SC or OBC lists.

Application: The Forest Rights Act, 2006 is formally titled "The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006." Of the categories offered here, only Scheduled Tribes is named in that title -- the Act recognizes a range of forest rights (including occupation of forest land, community rights, minor forest produce, grazing, and habitat rights) specifically for forest-dwelling Scheduled Tribes, and, outside these options, for Other Traditional Forest Dwellers who have resided in and depended on forests for three generations prior to 13 December 2005 -- not for Scheduled Tribes at large.

Contrast with the other categories offered:

• Scheduled Castes -- a separate constitutional category based on caste-based social disadvantage, not named in this Act's title.

• Economically Backward Classes -- not a category recognized in the Constitution or in this Act, and not named in this Act's title.

• Most Backward Classes -- a state-level OBC sub-classification, not named in this Act's title.

Hence, Scheduled Tribes is the category recognized in the Forest Rights Act, 2006's title.
