The Justice Party was a political party in the Madras Presidency of British India. It was founded byT. M. Nairand P. Theagaraya Chetty in 1916. Communal division between Brahminsand non-Brahmins began in the presidency during the late-19th and early-20th century, mainly due to caste prejudices and disproportionate Brahminical representation in government jobs. The Justice Party's foundation marked the culmination of several efforts to establish an organisation to represent the non-Brahmins in Madras. Founders of Justice Party though that Congress was mainly Brahmin party, so it started opposing Congress
The Poona Pact was an agreement between Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi which was signed on 24 September 1932 at Yerwada Central Jail in Pune, India, which asserted that there will be a single Hindu electorate, with scheduled castes having seats reserved within it,So the representation of these classes was based on the standards of joint electorates and reserved seats.
