Special Category Status used to be granted to some regions that have historically been at a disadvantage compared with the rest of the country. This decision was taken by the National Development Council (NDC), a body of the former Planning Commission, and was based on various parameters such as:
1. Hilly and difficult terrain
2. Low population density
3. Low resource base
3. Strategic location along the borders of the country
4. Economic and infrastructure backwardness
5. Non-viable nature of the state’s finances.
6. Sizable share of tribal population

In July 1972, William Whitelaw, the British government's Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, granted Special Category Status (SCS) to all prisoners convicted of Troubles-related offence. This had been one of the conditions set by the Provisional IRA when they negotiated a meeting with the British Government to discuss a truce.
Special category (or "political") status was de facto prisoner of war (POW) status, providing them with some of the privileges of POWs, such as those specified in the Geneva Convention.This meant prisoners did not have to wear prison uniforms or do prison work, were housed within their paramilitary factions, and were allowed extra visits and food parcels.
