Case (C)No.17 OF 2007 --------------------------- Dated 7th February, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner belongs to `Pathiyan' Community from Wayanad District. `Pathiyan' was included in the list of Scheduled Castes. But, by Government Order dated 14.10.86 `Pathiyan' except `Wahser men' were categorized under Other Eligible Communities(OEC). The State Government took the stand that petitioner is entitled to get the benefit and State Government is also extending the benefits, but, petitioner filed Ext.P6 representation. This court directed the Central Government to dispose of the representation. Grievance of the petitioner is that the above direction is not implemented and no orders were passed. The Additional Solicitor General submitted that petitioner's caste is also included in the list of Scheduled Castes. In the above circumstances, there is no contempt. The contempt petition is closed.
